Hong Gildong (Korean: 홍길동) is the protagonist of a classic Korean folk tale, often considered the Korean equivalent of Robin Hood. The story of Hong Gildong is believed to have originated from the late 16th to early 17th century during the Joseon Dynasty. Hong Gildong is depicted as an illegitimate son of a high-ranking government official who faces societal discrimination and hardship due to his birth. He eventually forms a band of outlaws to rob the rich and help the poor, showcasing themes of social justice and rebellion against the rigid Confucian hierarchy of the time. The tale has been adapted into various forms of Korean literature, theater, and modern media, cementing Hong Gildong's status as a cultural icon. In Hebrew, Hong Gildong can be translated as הונג גילדונג (Hong Gildong). In Japanese, the name is often romanized as Kō Kitsudō (こうきつどう), and in Chinese, it is translated as 洪吉童 (Hóng Jídòng).
