This is a fairly standard 60's Giant Monster rip-off, like those produced in Japan by Daiei, Shochiku and Nikkatsu Studios in the wake of Toho's success. Yongkari's special powers are his ability to burrow through the earth, and a death-ray he sometimes projects from his horn. He has a wonderful roar, and even starts dancing to a rock version of a famous Korean folk song...
But then there's the ending. Once again the scientists trying to stop Yongkari do about as much damage to the environment as the monster did... Our heros dump chemicals on the beast. There has never been a more horribly realistic demise in rubber-suit monster movie history, as Yongkari sinks to the ground, twitching and bleeding.
