Sageun names something in the water-dropwort family. The Donguibogam does not commit: it guesses this is the tender second growth that comes up after a spring or summer cutting. Minari itself remains a staple waterside green, dressed as a salad or dropped into spicy fish stew.

HomiclubSageun names something within the water dropwort group, and the source itself declines to fix its identity. Water dropwort sends new leaves up from the base after cutting, so the tender regrowth may be what the name singles out.
