The history of the two had a long and complicated history, included when the Sillas were taken over by the Goryeo dynasty, as they merged into one. They made stronger ties, merging their trading and cultural ties... I believe that was during the Three Kingdoms Period.

Ghingas Khan moved through China, and the son (I believe) headed toward Korea, making Goryeo change its capital city. Mongolia was attacked for decades until they agreed to provide ships and materials for the (failed) Mongolian invasions of Japan several times. During this time and after, Korea then became more and more influenced by their (Mongolian) culture.

Korea would not re-establish their independence for another hundred years when general Yi Song-gye established the new state of Joseon.

Their history and cultural minglings merge and submerge. It has a very interesting history.

Thank you for showing off the merging of the buddha. I wish you a happy day!
