Habaek (), also known as Habak () is the Goguryeo god of the Amnok River or, according to an alternative interpretation, the sun god Haebalk (). According to legend, his daughter Yuhwa married Haemosu and gave birth to Dongmyeong of Goguryeo, the founder of Goguryeo.
==Mythological overview== Habaek, the god of the Amnok River, had three daughters: Yuhwa (), Wuihwa (), and Hweonhwa (). The eldest of his daughters, Yuhwa, was confronted by Hae Mo-su while she was bathing in a river, and eventually she married him without her father's permission. Outraged by the act, Yuhwa's father challenged Hae Mo-su to a duel of metamorphosis.
