Embarrassment?

"Korean mythology is disintegrating rapidly to the level of folklore because of lack of interest or perhaps rather embarrassment."

"It is contended by some that after the Korean War Koreans became embarrassed about their own mythology and though many figures are still alive in the consciousness of the general population, much of the oral tradition about the relationship between the mythological figures has been lost."

As a Korean who grew up in Korea, I must note that I am unaware of any collective embarrassment regarding Korean mythology. Retellings, in books or cartoons, are popular, and myths remain a familiar part of the Korean storytelling tradition. I would also like to see the sources for this article, if any, as it does not strike me as being very accurate. Any article stating "It is contended by some" does not inspire much faith. --Noctua 22:12, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

meaning of "also, the story plays no religious function and is therefore not mythology (한국신화) as defined in the article"

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Korean_mythology&action=history Just curious about this definition about mythology. And also https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Korean_creation_narratives&action=historyon this link's edit summary, it says "addition is inappropriate because it is not a shamanic narrative"

According to this point of view, dozens of greek mythology was not shamanic narrative and it's ceased religious function so it's "inappropriate" article. What does this mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.161.42.88 (talk) 06:46, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How many births?

How births do the korean people have? It is the main thing people would like to know. I may say, you needa write this whole again... 2402:E280:3D6B:672:C899:F100:9513:D1B7 (talk) 16:12, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
