Superstition in Korea

In Korean shamanic faith, folk beliefs have been passed down through generations.

[2] Although Confucianism has no god figure, there are supernatural phenomena within the belief system of Korean shamanism.

Many Korean superstitions are related to being afraid of uncertain situations or avoiding certain actions.

[24] As a result, many people are critical of acting on superstitious beliefs.

[26] There is an ongoing debate on whether ancestral rites (Jesa) or jwibulnori, which are famous Korean traditional plays, are viewed as mere superstitions or as an important aspect of the country's culture.
