This week Jun and Daniel discuss Korean shamanism and occult practices through a review of the popular Korean movie "Exhuma" (or "파묘" in Korean). How integrated is shamanism in modern Korean society? What are some common superstitions and spiritual practices in Korea? How does the movie portray traditional Korean beliefs and anti-Japanese sentiment? What aspects of the film might be lost on non-Korean viewers?

If you're interested in learning more about Korean spiritual beliefs, fortune telling practices, and how they compare to Western perspectives, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! This week they also touch on topics like feng shui, Korean naming customs, and cultural differences in seeking guidance for major life decisions.
