This pattern was named after the Hwa-Rang youth group which originated in the Silla Dynasty about 1350 years ago. This group eventually became the actual driving force for the unification of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. The number of moves refers to the 29th Infantry Division where Tae Kwon-Do developed into maturity. Grand Master Han Cha Kyo created this pattern.
