Jeokseok-ri Ipseok Village is said to have been established 400 years ago during King Sukjong of Joseon when the ancestors of the Yeonil Jeong family settled here. The ruined temple site called Ipseokam at the mountain pass and Goryeodanggol and Guksadang on the hill behind Ipseok Village suggest it is a village with a long history. Ipseok Pass was a route from Yeongnam past Ihwaryeong (Iyuritjae) or Saejae to Goesan and Seoul, where old scholars rested, an area with a history of sorrow and joy. The pine tree standing at the pass is 21.2m tall with a chest-height circumference of 3.48m, resembling the rank 2 pine of Song Mountain in Sogrisan but with a trunk that leans about 5° diagonally. The upper trunk shows the reddish color characteristic of Jeoksong pines, while the lower part has thick bark. Branches extend evenly in all directions. Estimated to be about 500 years old, it grew at the pass where the Ihwaryeong tunnel entrance is visible before the village existed. Originally it stood with the pine at Guksadang, where village Dongje rituals were held, but only the Ipseok Pass pine remains, serving as the village guardian deity. Until before liberation, a Seonghwangdang was present and rituals were held, but after the Korean War both the shrine and rituals disappeared. This pine, nurtured by ancestors over centuries, has high value as both folk and biological heritage and is designated and protected as a natural monument.
