SOAP

I'm sure you're doing a good job washing your hands these days, so let's find out the origin of soap first

​

​

Soap's etymology, which means soap, has a Roman legend. According to legend, there were many religious rituals where animals were burned at the top of Mount Sapporo in Rome. 

​

But in the stream below the Sapo mountain, Roman women huddled together to do laundry, especially on rainy days, when water bubbles and dirt come out well. The reason for this is that during the religious ceremony, the fat of animals and charcoal of the animals were mixed to form soap. Thus, it is believed that the names of Sapo Mountain have become the etymology of Saponin and Soap. 

​

​

The history of soap in Korea, like in the West, is not clearly written about when soap was used. However, during the Joseon Dynasty, the royal court or yangban gyu-su used mung bean powder or changpo powder in 'Chodubak'. The name is called "viru," which means "to blow away the dirt," and "viru" has become the etymology of the "binu" used today.

​

* Soap is an object that melts away in water as we use it, but it cleans away our dirty spots. Soaps that don't melt in water are never good soaps. People who are not willing to sacrifice themselves for society and who are only concerned are like soap that does not dissolve in water.

- John Warner Maker, king of department stores in the United States.
