Abstract:

In the 1950s, Christianity and educational achievement were the primary means for Koreans to break through the misery and powerlessness that the conflict from June 1950 to July 1953 had caused. Along with education, religion was a promising route in securing familial welfare for South Koreans. Among the several religions and denominations, Protestant churches were more popular for the uprooted people residing in urban areas. These two privately motivated daily activities—education and religion—captured the concern of the Korean people who had lost everything during the war. Under President Syn

Abstract:

In the late Joseon dynasty, many Koreans crossed the border between Joseon and Qing for survival. They then migrated to Manchuria, in the Qing territory, around Mt. Baekdu. In the late 1900s, Japan seized diplomatic and military control of Korea, and in 1910, Korea was annexed by Japan. Many Koreans then moved to the Manchurian region of China. Religion played an important role in the large Korean community formed in Manchuria after the 1910s. During this period, Korean immigrant communities that were centered on religion were established in Manchuria. Among the many religions, Daejonggyo (大倧敎

This paper aims to examine Kim Chai Choon’s understanding of religion. His perspective on religion challenged the dogmatic and imperialistic approach of Western missionaries, who often failed to grasp the unique religio-cultural context of Korea. Kim’s missional approach significantly influenced the formation of minjung theology, a Korean contextual theology shaped by Korean people’s socio-political and religio-cultural realities. Minjung theology contributed to social transformation by advocating for restoring the human rights of the minjung, whose dignity had been sacrificed under the milita

Abstract:

Civil religion refers to a country’s beliefs, symbols, and rituals that bolster national unity and strengthen its citizens’ sense of identity and belonging. However, the literature on civil religion is divided between those who attribute it to bottom-up cultural spontaneity and those who see it as an ideological top-down construction. Moreover, there has been a relative lack of scholarly attention to Korean civil religion. This paper addresses both issues by arguing that a strong civil religion indeed exists in the country and that it has been an important part of the “nation-building” process

Chondoism is a 20th-century Korean pantheistic religion, based on the 19th-century Tonghak movement. Originally, Chondoism was recognized as the national religion of Korea, unlike Buddhism and Christianity. Being a patriotic movement, Chondoism was able to develop itself in North Korea when North Korea was liberated from the Japanese occupation (1910–1945). Despite the nature of the North Korean regime, Chondoism is still present in the North Korean society. Like other religious groups in North Korea, the Chondoist religion today serves political aims in this country as the Chondoist Chongu Pa

Although their emphasis on the function of religion would be different, it can be said that the religion affects people’s minds both positively and negatively. Religious addiction can be an example of a negative side of religion; religion has a positive function in that it gives hope and comfort to human beings.

The relationship between modernization and religion is contested, with the literature differing in how and in what ways religion helps or hinders countries’ social, economic, and political development. This paper draws upon the history of Christianity in South Korea to critically explore the links between religion and modernization. It makes two arguments. First, discussions of the link between religion and modernization frequently employ static definitions of religion, but Christianity is characterized by oscillations between worldly (institutionalizing) and unworldly (countercultural) impuls

Shamanism is one of the oldest religions that have existed around the world. But Korean shamanism is very exceptionally in the world, because it is monopolized by women. This article focuses on the main reasons for that state of affairs. Korean shamanism has never been accepted by the ruling class as an official religion. It was not supported by the elites of the society, so it has functioned only at the margin of culture and society. Confucian-patriarchy in the Joseon dynasty (1392-1897) was one of the main reasons why Korean shamanism became the religion of women. According to Confucian ideo

This article explores how the unique cosmology of Korean shamanism, which continues to function as a living religion in contemporary Korea, has been shaped. A key characteristic of the cosmology in Korean shamanism is its combination of two cosmological beliefs. First, it adheres to the general shamanistic cosmology of protection, where suffering caused by supernatural beings can be overcome through the protection of even more powerful beings, who also assist in predicting the future. Second, it incorporates the belief that human life and the universe operate according to specific cosmological

Abstract:

The most prominent characteristics of the religious situation in contemporary Korea can be said to be the following: first, the religious population is large and is increasing rapidly at present. Second, in a situation of multi-religious coexistence, no particular religion takes precedence over another; Western religions, however, are challenging and gradually overwhelming Eastern religions. In this paper, I argue that these two features are closely related to each other. When compared with other countries, religions are growing more rapidly in Korea and with an unusual level of enthusiasm, a

Abstract:

South Korea is a country on the southern part of the Korean peninsula and the majority religion is not Islam. To worship or find halal food that is permissible for consumption by Muslims there is quite difficult. After the success of its cultural diplomacy in the form of Hallyu, in 2009 Korea also launched kimchi diplomacy and was quite successful, so that Muslim countries are getting to know Korean cuisine. Then, around 2014 Korea also developed halal food gastro diplomacy for Muslim tourists who traveled to South Korea. There are reasons that make Korea interested in building halal food dipl

Abstract:

Korean Buddhism faces a crisis due to secularization, detachment from religion, and an aging population. Generation Z shows declining faith and temple visits. In contrast, China sees more Generation Z tourists at temples, boosting temple 'goods' popularity. Chinese temple goods blend tradition with contemporary design, attracting young tourists online. This study compares Korean and Chinese temple goods design, focusing on Generation Z's preferences. Korean designs score high in relevance and trustworthiness but lack functionality. Chinese designs excel in prominence and uniqueness but lack tr

Abstract:

As government documents, postage stamps are a rich source of information about a government’s policies on a wide range of subjects. In this article, a comparative semiotic analysis of the first seventy-five years of North and South Korean stamps is used to illustrate the similarities and differences in their attitudes towards ‘religion’ and religious practice. A corpus of stamps on a ‘religious’ theme was created for stamps issued by both governments from which a series of themes and motifs was noted. The semiotic analysis of the themes and motifs showed that while on South Korean stamps Buddh

Abstract:

Comprehending and discussing Koreans’ experiences of inter-religious dialogue requires a precise understanding of their religious hybridity. To this end, this article first delves into South Korea’s multireligious and syncretic landscape. Subsequently, it focuses on the concept of chungch’ŭng-sinang, or multilayered faith, highlighting how Koreans have constructed their own religiously multilayered and open internal structures based on their historical encounters with various religions. Finally, building on this understanding, this article examines how an in-depth understanding of Korean relig

Abstract:

The successful Amur rafting and signing of the Aigun and Beijing treaties with the Qing Empire ensured the Russian Far Eastern lands return in the middle of the XIX century. Subsequently, more than a dozen new settlements appeared on the left bank of the Amur River, including the future Jewish Autonomous region area. Some of them were founded by Koreans, whose exodus to Russia began in 1864. At the same time, Koreans voluntarily changed their religion from Buddhism to Orthodoxy. Because of the lack of land plots for them in the south of Primorye, the Russian government allowed the new Russians
