Now a popular sausage served Korea wide, a version of this dish may have originated in the mountainous regions of Goguryeo (one of the Three Kingdoms) located in the northern portion of Korea and parts of Manchuria.
It was originally made with the intestine from wild boar (pigs).

  4. 4Stuff the intestine–
    Using a funnel or sausage stuffing machine, loosely stuff each section.
    Gently squeeze stuffing through the entire length of the section.
    Don’t pack the stuffing too tightly or the sausage may split open during cooking.
