About Seongye Falls (seongye pokpo [전계폭포])
Seongye Falls (Seongye Pokpo [전계폭포]; I’ve also seen it spelled Seonggye) was a 60m seasonal waterfall that only flows after heavy rain.
We happened to stumble upon this waterfall while driving in Byeonsanbando National Park in an effort to pursue the Jikso Falls

Aside from the fact that the waterfall wasn’t flowing during our late June 2023 visit, we’ll just reflect what we were able to read from the sign that compelled us to stop here in the first place.
The sign stated that there was a Seongyesa Temple above this waterfall (something we didn’t pursue).
The sign also said that the name of this waterfall may have something to do with Lee Seong-gye of the Joseon Dynasty, who apparently stayed here and practiced martial arts.
Anyways, for all intents and purposes, this waterfall was a roadside waterfall seen on the way to the Naebyeonsan car park (see directions below).

It may be an indicator waterfall for the Jikso Falls because if this waterfall’s flowing, there’s a very good chance that the other one will, too.
However, the converse may not be true where if Songye Falls doesn’t flow, then Jikso Falls doesn’t necessarily have bad flow either given its bigger drainage (though both were dry during my late June 2023 visit).
