| Hangseong Baekje culture festival |
| Songpa area was a capital city of the Baekje kingdom 2,000 years ago (5 BC) when King Onjo, the founder of the Baekje, established the ancient capital in Seoul Han River's basin. |
|
Two sons of Jumong, who established Goguryeo, Onjo and Biryu advanced southward, leaving behind all the achievements that they attained for the establishment of the kingdom, and they arrived at the northern part of the region of what is known today as Seoul. Onjo settled at the Wirye castle, situated at the northern part of the Han River whereas Biryu established himself at Michuhol (Incheon today). Later, Biryu who saw how well the people of Wirye castle were living died while mourning out of shame. Onjo took in his people and moved the capital to the Songpa region in the 14th year of Onjo's reign (5 BC), and flourished the culture after laying the foundation as an ancient kingdom.
Hanseong Baekje Era refers to the period (18 BC ~ 475 : during 493 years) that ranges from King Onjo to the base year(moved to Wungjin in year 475) of King Muju, before the capital was moved from Hanseong to Wungjin (Gongju today).
