It's a cartoon about Korea's Hwarangdo.
Please enjoy it :)

English subtitles_1

[1]
Hwarangdo was the group of young boys of the Shilla Kingdom.

[2]
It was established to attract talent from all over the country as the charm of Hwarang.
The human resources gathered in such a way formed solidarity and received education while living together with Hwarang.
Their role was to select talented people from among them and assign them to military or government positions in Shilla.


English subtitles_2

[3]
The meaning of 'Hwarang' is 'a boy like a flower' so it was important not only to train but also to improve his appearance.
They were not just a training group, but also an idol and ambassador representing the country.

[4]
They wore white makeup and were respected by the Shilla people for their religious sanctity.

[5]
Boy's Name: Youngrang/ 16/ Hwarang

[6]
Let's take a look at Hwarang's organizational chart.

(4) 
Hwarang: 
Their organization was spread out in many places. 
The detailed scale is unknown.
They were made up of noblemen.
English subtitles_4

[7]
Hwarang trained their mind and body by traveling through the deep mountains and valleys of Shilla.

[8]
Many guest books engraved by them on rocks deep in the mountains are still being found.

[9]
June 2, 'Youngrang, finally accomplishing the feat!'
English subtitles_5

[10]
Exploring the famous mountains was so important in Hwarang's activities that there were no mountains they did not go to.

[11]
However, since there were wild beasts such as tigers and leopards in the mountains, it was dangerous for young boys to walk around such places.

English subtitles_6

[12]
In reality, one of them was kidnapped by a bandit.

[13]
On March 11, 693, the leader of Hwarang, was kidnapped by a northern immigrant.
English subtitles_7

[14]
When the leader, Hwarang, was kidnapped by a bandit, the soldiers who followed him were at a loss. But only one of them, a soldier, chased him and rescued him.

[15]
(I skipped the rough story. He He..)
English subtitles_8

[16]
Because Silla's defense was so dangerous, Hwarang often went to the battlefield and many special situations in which young boys accomplished their achievements were recorded.

[17]
In other words, their main job was not a soldier, and what remained on the record was a very special case.
English subtitles_9

[18]
Although Shilla was a society with a thorough status system, young people of different social status gathered and united in the face of national disasters, which helped a lot.

[19]
Basically, Hwarang is like a boy scout from the Silla period, where thousands of boys of diverse social status develop their abilities in solidarity.
