> South Koreans frequently believe in superstitions, fortune tellers, urban legends, etc., and generally struggle with critical thinking or questioning established ideas.
You provide references for the other points, but not this. I can see it being true for older people, but is it really true in general? (I actually had this question before since I'm seeing a lot of shamans in the kdramas and it puzzles me since there is little of this in the west.)
- bingbingbong 5y agoIn my experience, there is a lot of little urban legends and superstitions that young people still take part in / talk about, but it's unclear how many do it for fun and how many partially believe it. Anecdotally, I've met plenty of young people (20s) who believe the whole bloodtype/personality thing.
