Venus: Saebyeol at Dawn, Gaebabbareogibyeol in the Evening

Venus was not visible in the middle of the night but was observed only at dawn and in the evening, appearing in the east at dawn and in the west in the evening.

Ancient people, lacking astronomical understanding, did not know that the star appearing at dawn and the star appearing in the evening were the same celestial body, leading them to give it multiple names. Venus seen at dawn was called 'Saebyeol' (new star) or 'Gyemyeongseong' (cockcrow star), implying positive meanings of approaching morning and creation.

Unlike 'Gyemyeongseong' at dawn, which signifies hope and a new beginning, 'Gaebabbareogibyeol' carries the evening meaning, indicating the end of the day's work.

In English-speaking cultures, Venus was named after the beautiful goddess of beauty, 'Venus,' because it was considered an object of admiration and wonder, and a standard of beauty, being the brightest celestial body apart from the Sun and Moon.

Saebyeol, Gaebabbareogibyeol, and Venus are all synonymous terms referring to the same celestial body. This shows that language goes beyond merely designating objects; it is a medium that contains diverse human thoughts and emotions.
