According to a legend, Japanese soldiers occupied Yeongjongdo Island during the Imjin War in the 25th year of King Seonjo’s reign.
They later invaded Yongyudo Island and began crossing Gamnaru on foot.
There, they saw the General Rock with countless seagulls flying around it and mistook the scene for a brave general with his soldiers.
Frightened, they retreated, only to be caught in the rising tide and wiped out.
