Etymology

Mung bean sprout Sukju Namul Seasoned Mung Bean Sprouts Korean Bapsang

The Korean name "sukjunamul" is a compound of Sukju and namul, of which the former derived from the name of Sin Sukju(신숙주; 申叔舟), one of the prominent scholars who participated in creating hangul. Unlike his colleagues (later called the six martyred ministers) who had all pledged allegiance to King Danjong, Sin Sukju betrayed them in favour of Danjeong's uncle, Grand Prince Suyang (later King Sejo), who usurped the throne from his nephew and had him killed. People regarded Sin Sukju's move unethical and immoral, they started to gave his name to mung bean sprouts, which happened to go bad and spoil very easily.
