Born or Made : Korean Young Shamans
Despite its reputation as the world's 10th most advanced economy, Korea is also home to a large community of shamans, with an estimated one million practitioners. Often referred to as "God's disciples," these individuals have chosen a spiritual path that is little-known to many Koreans, and even to this day, new individuals continue to become shamans. The reasons why someone chooses to become a shaman and the process of becoming one are complex, and different for every person. Some may be born with an inclination towards spirituality, while others may discover it later in life through a spiritual awakening. Who are these individuals who choose to become shamans and why do they choose this path? And more importantly, are shamans born or made? 세계 10위 경제 선진국, 삼성과 IT, 그리고 BTS의 나라 대한민국… 하지만 그런 대한민국을 ‘신의 나라'라고 부르는 무당은 100만명이나 있으며, 지금 이 순간에도 ‘신의 제자'인 무당들은 계속 태어나고 있다. 그들은 어떤 존재들이며 왜 이 길을 선택해야만 했을까? 과연 무당은 태어나는 것일까, 만들어지는 것일까?
