The village name “Woomyeong" means "The village where the oxen moo" in Korean. According to Korean feng shui, the village looks like an ox regurgitating in a comfortable crouching position. For farmers in the olden days, an ox was the symbol of prosperity and peace. This village has been regarded as one of the most fertile and prosperous areas in Korea. It was also the hometown of a famous scholar named Jeong, whose house now serves as a pension. The village has another name, “Hyo-ri,” which means "a village of devoted sons" in Korean, because the village was famous for having many devoted sons throughout generations. The pension is commonly called "Hyo-ri House" among the locals because the big house with a large field is regarded as the center of the village. The owner of the house transformed it into a pension in 2013, because he thought it would be nice to provide a comfortable place for visitors where they can just lie down on the wooden floor and look up the sky. There haven’t been many guests so far, but the owner says that his house can serve as a place where the guests can benefit from the good energy surrounding the village and learn history and culture during their stay. Guests are also welcome to pick vegetables from the field during their stay in the traditional Korean house and learn how the Korean scholars lived and studied in a farming family in the past.
