Subsequently, the Wonhwa title was granted to female spiritual leaders of the Hwarang.
The Wonhwa (original flowers) were a class of female warrior cadets in 6th-century Silla, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.
However, after one of them committed murder, the wonhwa class was abolished, and replaced by the all-male Hwarang.
The term Won Hwa is often incorrectly used to represent a single individual; in fact, Won Hwa was a group of highly revered Buddhist nuns who spiritually guided these Buddhist monastic warriors.
The first group of Wonhwa consisted of about 300 young girls chosen for their beauty and skill.
Their leaders were two women.
The Wonhwa title was granted to female spiritual leaders of the Hwarang.
In the case of the Wonhwa, devotion to philosophy and the arts.
It would be logical to assume that if someone had to work hard, maybe even struggle with attaining certain goals, that envy might consume them if their counterpart, especially if viewed more as a rival, seemed to reach the same objectives with substantially less effort.

The Wonhwa were a class of female warrior cadets in 6th-century Silla, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.
It is not clear to what extent they ever engaged in battle.
Created in the reign of King Jinheung, the first group of Wonhwa consisted of about 300 young girls chosen for their beauty and skill.
Their leaders were two women.
However, after one of them committed murder, the wonhwa class was abolished, and replaced by the all-male Hwarang.
Subsequently, the Wonhwa title was granted to female spiritual leaders of the Hwarang.
The term Won Hwa is often incorrectly used to represent a single individual; in fact, Won Hwa was a group of highly revered Buddhist nuns who spiritually guided these Buddhist monastic warriors.
The first two women to be nominated for Wonhwa were the leaders of the two bands of Wonhwa, Nammo and Junjeong, who grew jealous of one another.
When Junjeong murdered her rival, the Wonhwa were disbanded.
The tale goes that Junjeong asked Nammo to her house and forced her to drink, killing Nammo at the north stream.
The people of Nammo searched for the missing Nammo and made a song so that the children could sing it in the streets.
A group of these people found Nammo's body and Junjeong was executed.
This origin story is most likely based on myth and legend, as the term wonhwa is composed of won 源, "source", and undoubtedly refers to the founders of the sect, while hwa 花, "flower", is a euphemism for someone who has spent a great deal of time or money in the pursuit of something, i.e. a devotee.
In the case of the Wonhwa, devotion to philosophy and the arts.
Furthermore, while the names nammo and junjeong could have been appellations adopted by these two women for use in court, one cannot overlook the obvious descriptions they portray.
Nammo hints at one who is careless yet lucky, or perhaps someone who is innately insightful and therefore unenthusiastic about further erudition.
Junjeung clearly indicates a person who is talented and virtuous, despite the fact that she was the one who succumbed to homicidal tendencies.
It would be logical to assume if someone had to work hard, maybe even struggle with attaining certain goals, that envy might consume them if their counterpart, especially if viewed more as a rival, seemed to reach the same objectives with substantially less effort.

Wonhwa was an official position held by females prior to the founding of Hwarang.
Wonhwa means The Original Flowers.
King Jinheung held contests and selected the two most attractive young women, Nammo and Junjeong, to become known as Wonhwa.
Each of them lead a group of some 300 young male followers.
Jinheung expected that if a woman was well trained in moral principles such as modesty, loyalty and filial piety, and subsequently, if every young man was ethical, they could attain the country’s well-being.
However, a deadly competition between the two most talented contenders flared up.
The king was disturbed that it had come to such an end and he abolished the position of Wonhwa and created a new institution called Hwarang.
It seems to be some misunderstanding going around in the fandom that the Wonhwa were the spiritual leaders of Hwarang - that is WRONG.
Wonhwa wasn’t some group of female warriors or nuns either.
