The haetae is a popular creature from Korean mythology. With a lion-like body and broom-like tail to sweep away evil, it’s said to protect against fire and chaos and stand for order. Statues of haetae can be seen outside buildings that people wanted to protect like Seoul’s famous Gyeongbokgung. Here is my cute version originally done with Copic markers.
