Until recently, Korean scholars of religious studies emphasized the active role of religion in the public sphere, especially following the pandemic. This focus is a response to declining social trust toward institutional religions and waning religious influence in society. However, since former President Yoon declared Martial Law on December 3, South Korea has experienced an unprecedented political movement. Leaders from Protestant churches have taken to the streets, rallying a diverse segment of the public around extreme conservative ideas. Th...

As Korean society rapidly transitions into a multicultural society, the landscape of Korean religion is also changing. From ancient times to the present, foreign religions have been introduced into the Korean Peninsula and have become part of Korean religion through localization. For example, Buddhism, Confucianism, Catholicism, and Protestantism are representative cases. This phenomenon can still be witnessed at present. Islam is likely to become the fourth largest religion in Korea. This is because, with the increase in Muslim immigrants, cha...

Uro’s wife searched for her husband’s body. People feared the abandonment of a body without a funeral more than death. A funeral can be held only with a body, and the dead are meant to be supported by their descendants. The dead can find peace in the grave if a body is abandoned. Uro’s wife chose the last resort. She approached a Japanese man who knew where her husband was buried and offered to give him her body. He told her the location. She had someone kill the Japanese man and found her husband’s body. Then, she dug up the ground to ...

This article aims to examine the worldview of the ‘Samgye (三界: Three Realms)’ in Daesoon Thought by comparing it with related concepts found in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, as an integrated approach to understanding the key religious themes of human beings, heaven and earth, and divine beings. The Buddhist notion of the Three Realms can be understood as a worldview that reflects the framework of Buddhist thought, which places the mind at its center, and explains the stages of enlightenment. In Daoism, a multi-layered celestial wo...

This study analyzes the role and development direction of Daesoon Jinrihoe’s elderly welfare at the turning point when Korea entered a super-aged society in 2024. Korea’s aging process is progressing four times faster than the OECD average, with the elderly population ratio projected to reach 46.4% by 2070. This demographic transition presents complex challenges including ensuring institutional sustainability, improving service quality, and addressing social isolation. As public welfare systems alone have limitations in responding to the mu...

This study reinterprets the classical Korean novel, Janghwa Hongryeonjeon, through the lens of Paul Ricœur’s theory of triple mimesis, focusing on the narrative of memory and the reconstruction of female identity. Whereas previous studies have emphasized filial piety and the reinforcement of patriarchal order, this study highlights the invocation of suppressed memory and the recovery of female subjectivity through narrative. Janghwa Hongryeonjeon structures the experiences of Janghwa and Hongryeon through death and their return as spirits,...
