Manilsa' is named after Muhakdaesa(a renowned monk) offered
a prayer for 'Manil(10,000 days).' According to a stone monument
here, while Taejo Lee Seong-Gye, the founder of the Joseon Dynasty,

lunch with Gochujang ever in Sunchang. Because he missed the
hot pepper paste so much even after he became the first King
of Joseon Dynasty, it was presented to the King.
