The rare warrior is a temple in the rare valley, and has a special relationship with the Iron Dal Village. Iron moon means iron bridge. The former name of Suchul-ri was Sucheol-ri. Anecdotes related to names go back to the Three Kingdoms period. In 12 years King Silla Deok Deung, Hee-unsaung Doo-un saved a tiger with a hairpin on her neck. The tiger took the daughter of Sorabul captain Yoo Suk to pay the favor. Doun-nim was very angry and sent Yoo Suk's daughter back to Seorabul. Ho Jang Yoo is a legend that he put an iron bridge on the stream of nobleman as a token of gratitude. So how can you erase that name easily?
