A gift from Korea

I saw it in my sister’s car. This should not be mine actually. It’s a gift from my sister’s friend from South Korea. Take a guess what is this? If you guess letter opener, hair stick or bookmark, you’re partially right because it is all of them. Look carefully, you’ll found a bear hanging there.
Now why bear? According to the card attached with the bear, it said that this bear is the bear from the myth. The bear is a legendary and familiar animal which is said to have come up during the founding days of ‘Gojosun’, turning into a woman called ‘Woong-nyeo’, giving birth to ‘Dan-gun-wang-gum’.
Google if you want to know what is it all about as I don’t understand a thing from the card. ><’’'
