In South Korea, the prayer table of Lee Kyoung-hyun looks similar to those of Korean shamans from hundreds of years ago. It has statues of Buddha and local gods, candles, and incense.在韩国，李京贤的祈祷桌看起来与几百年前韩国巫师的祈祷桌类似。桌上有佛像和地方神祇的雕像、蜡烛和香。The 29-year-old shaman may use traditional prayer objects, but Lee reaches her followers in a modern way: through social media. Hundreds of thousands of people follow her online.这位29岁的巫师可能使用传统的祈祷物品，但李以现代方式接触她的追随者：通过社交媒体。成千上万的人在网上关注她。And she's not alone. Since starting her YouTube channel in 2019, she has noticed more South Korean shamans posting videos about the spiritual practice.她并不孤单。自2019年开设YouTube频道以来，她注意到越来越多的韩国巫师发布有关灵性实践的视频。Researcher Kim Dong-kyu is with the Academic Center for K-Religions at Sogang University, a private research university in Seoul. He said shamans used to publicize themselves in newspapers. He said it is "natural” for them to use social media.研究员金东奎隶属于首尔的一所私立研究型大学——西江大学的K宗教学术中心。他说，巫师过去常通过报纸宣传自己。他认为他们使用社交媒体是“自然的”。South Korea is among the world's most modern and high-tech economies. More than half its population of 51 million does not practice a religion, research shows. However, the appeal of shamanism remains popular and seems to be growing.韩国是世界上最现代化和高科技的经济体之一。研究显示，在其5100万人口中，超过一半不信奉宗教。然而，巫术的吸引力仍然很受欢迎，且似乎在增长。Google Trends tracks popular searches on YouTube. It shows that searches for "shaman" and "fortune-telling" in Korean have nearly doubled over the past five years.谷歌趋势追踪YouTube上的热门搜索。数据显示，过去五年中，韩语“巫师”和“算命”的搜索量几乎翻了一倍。A 2024 Korean film called Exhuma is about a shaman removing a curse on a family. The film has made at least $97 million dollars internationally and is raising interest in the religious tradition. The Korean Film Council says that one in five South Koreans has seen the film.2024年上映的一部韩国电影《Exhuma》讲述了一位巫师为一家人解除诅咒的故事。该电影在国际上至少赚取了9700万美元，并引起了人们对这种宗教传统的兴趣。韩国电影委员会表示，每五个韩国人中就有一个看过这部电影。Shamans are thought to have special powers, including the ability to know what will happen in the future. They offer followers relationship advice, guidance on job searches, and predictions, said Lee.人们认为巫师拥有特殊能力，包括预知未来的能力。李说，他们为追随者提供关系建议、求职指导和预测。Park Chea-bin is a 33-year-old Buddhist. In 2020, she visited Lee when she was struggling to find a job. She said she felt "peace of mind" after meeting with the shaman.朴彩斌是一名33岁的佛教徒。2020年，当她在找工作时遇到了困难，她拜访了李。她说，在见过巫师之后，她感到“心灵平静”。Park said, "I was very anxious at the time but I became a little relaxed after deciding to let things go and focus on what I need to do."朴说：“当时我非常焦虑，但决定放下并专注于自己需要做的事情后，我变得稍微放松了一些。”She found a job at about the same time as her visit with the shaman.她在拜访巫师的同时找到了一份工作。Shaman Lee posts videos on subjects such as Korea's future for the rest of 2024. "The current state of South Korean society is a factor that can't be ignored," she said. She added that many people come to her with concerns about the costs of housing and raising children.巫师李发布了关于2024年余下时间韩国未来的视频。她说：“韩国社会的现状是一个不可忽视的因素。”她补充说，许多人来找她咨询住房和养育孩子的费用问题。In Seoul, where Lee works, the price of a home was more than 15 times the average wage in 2022. In 2017, a home in the Korean capital cost 8.8 times the average wage. These amounts come from a Korean government report. The country has also suffered from high inflation and interest rates.在李工作的首尔，2022年房价是平均工资的15倍以上。2017年，韩国首都的房价是平均工资的8.8倍。这些数据来自韩国政府的一份报告。该国还遭受了高通胀和高利率的困扰。

Today I welcome medical sociologist Kiheung Kim to talk about the many different aspects of COVID in South Korea. Before I get started with Kiheung Kim, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that today marks the 300th episode of COVIDCalls.  When I started doing COVIDCalls in March of 2020 it was a resource for daily discussion when information about how to react to the pandemic was literally evolving minute by minute.  To me the urgency of the daily calls was about getting disaster experts into conversation about their research, and getting their expertise into the news cycle.  Over time the project became a site of exploration—a place (among many) where the widest variety of experts/survivors/witnesses could be in dialogue (I was lucky to be on the mic with them).  Everyday we have been trying to make sense of the pandemic, and trying to also make sense of the tools we have to create and sustain this knowledge.  Over the past couple of months—especially as the pandemic has moved into its next act in North America, I've noticed a shift.  Not that the search for knowing COVID is by any means at an end, but rather that people are turning to COVIDCalls as a way to take stock of what happened over the past 18 months.  I should say, for guests who are expert in Brazil or India, or here where I am in S. Korea—this is not yet time for a post action report or a eulogy—COVID is still a very serious daily threat to life.  Still, there is among many a sense of passage—a movement out of one life and into another.  For me that means waiting for a vaccination—but the wait isn't endless—I see it on a calendar. I have heard people say that they are eager just to forget and move on—I even had one person chastise me on Twitter for wanting to linger with the memory of COVID, almost as if I've made a choice to reside in the darkness of it.  I've thought about that a lot—and you know what maybe there is a truth there—even when my own daily risk goes down through vaccination (not yet!) I know I will want to reside in this space of uncertainty and concern a while longer—this is a place of vigilance, and of action, and I worry that I will—that society will—move to closure and forgetting before the power of the uncertainty and fear provokes us to act.  And act we must—we have so much to do for our health systems, our struggles for justice, our schools, our care workers—COVID shows the need for reform at every turn.  So let's get vaccinated and live, but let's not let go of this feeling of—what else can I call it—fear, of deep concern—until we've done what we can do for a safer future.  Disaster Memory is not apolitical, it is not uncritical, it is not behind glass at a museum——memory can provoke—and the future of COVID memory is literally being made right now—we are making it. The memory of COVID is already a battleground of competing explanations and ideologies—not all of them in good faith, and some of them very dangerous. It's not a choice to remember or forget COVID.  It's a choice among competing narratives, competing memories.  Don't let anyone tell you it wasn't that bad—or that those many months were all bad or wasted—it wasn't one thing or another.  COVID was, and is, as diverse as life and society itself.  COVID forced us to create new practices of work and sociability, even some new ways of living—some attention to the brokenness of the old ways--that we might not want to give up so quickly.  That's good and useful.  But at the core there is also a struggle to learn hard lessons from it. Let's work together to sustain the lessons based in the grim truth of unnecessary deaths, compassion for those still suffering, and a just recovery to come. Let me thank Shivani Patel, Bucky Stanton, Hyunah Keum, and Eleanor Mayes.  AND let me tell you that in a few weeks time the CCalls research portal will launch—plus we have more guest hosts coming: including Kim Fortun, Jacob Steere-Williams, and Kristin Urquiza (thanks Felicia Henry).  Stay tuned.

*** Correction: In the audio of this podcast I mistakenly referred to Merose Whang as an “Assistant Professor”, it should instead be ‘Associate Professor'; I also mistakenly referred to “Hiram University” when it should be ‘Hiram College' This episode of the Korea Now podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Merose Hwang. They speak about the history of Korean Shamanism (the Mudang), the role they played in people's lives, how the colonial period changed their place in society, the way they were painted as antithetical to the new ideal of modernisation, Shamanism's suppression and criminalisation at this time, the way notions of modern womanhood were used to shift society away from its traditions and history, the attempts to promote modern medicine by contrasting it with the Shamans, how the Japanese colonial government came to see the Shamans as an economic drain, Shamanism's revival inside Korea following the collapse of the colonial government, its place in Korean society today, and importantly the ways that this period has shaped and distorted our understandings of both Korean Shamanism and the modernisation of Korea.
