Perhaps they were married. I could not find any information on it, but, for sure he appears to be a compassionate Buddha.

It is such an honor to be able to tour and learn about these temples and they are such an important part of the Korean landscape. Korean Buddist sculptures are history, art and religion all rolled into one. l must say that seeing the man and wife was a surprise and I was delighted to see such a statue.

Thank you for sharing the Korean culture with all for better understanding and the joining in peace, the different cultures.
