Yi Seungman administration[edit]

In the Yi Seungman administration, Protestant [color="#0000FF"]Christians[/color] living in Jeju Island had an 'anti-superstition movement', where they sought to restrain Korean shamanism and its pantheon of [color="#0000FF"]18,000 deities[/color].[1] However, the movement had little effect on the Jeju Islanders.



Park Jeongheui administration[edit]

[color="#0000FF"]Park Jeongheui[/color], the dictator of South Korea, was the leader of the Saemaeul movement, which sought to modernize Korea. Under the logo 'Along with economic wealth, we seek a psychologically healthy cultural life with degree', shamanism was suppressed as 'superstition', 'psychologically unhealthy', and 'without degree'.



Whenever a Gut, or shamanistic ritual, was held, government officials ordered that the ritual must cease. Additionally, officials destroyed holy trees, totem poles, and cairns and illegalized all forms of shamanistic rituals. Shamans were forced to vow that they had to give up their religion.



In response, many people held private Gut rituals. However, the government said that Guts were an inconvenience to the neighbours, and imprisoned shamans who had participated in private Guts.

In many regions, shamans were imprisoned, and their holy tools (sword, bell, fan, drum, et cetera) were taken away by the police. Officials also hired teenagers to run into the midst of shamanistic rituals, forcing the ritual to be stopped.



Legacy[edit]

Shamanistic beliefs were greatly weakened. [color="#0000FF"]Among the one hundred holy places in Jeju Island, only twenty or thirty, such as the holy trees of Waheul Village, survived the anti-superstition movement.[/color]



However, the movement sometimes unified the sentiments of the villagers. In some villages, the villagers, led by the oldest man in the village, picketed around the holy places to protect them. The holy places in such villages were saved. Meanwhile, other villages restored the destroyed or damaged holy places.[2]

So the 1970s - 4 decades back or so - is when native Korean religion was murdered.



The wacky page on the larger/overall Saemaeul Movement/New Community movement:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saemaeul_Movement

The New Community Movement, also known as the New Village Movement, Saemaeul Movement or Saemaul Movement, was a political initiative launched on April 22, 1970 by South Korean president Park Chung Hee (박정희, 朴正熙) to modernize the rural South Korean economy.

After declaring it was a great success and after listing its features/points of implementation (carefully not mentioning the systematic destruction of Korea's native religion) it seems the christowest has learnt and threatens to repeat the pattern:

Going international[edit]

[color="#0000FF"]The Saemaul Movement has been accepted by the United Nations as one of the efficient rural development models in the world.[/color] The Economic Commission for [color="#0000FF"]Africa[/color] (ECA) has decided to select the Saemaul Movement as a base model for the Sustainable Modernization of Agriculture and Rural Transformation (SMART) program in 2008.[5] Also, the movement has been exported to more than 70 countries, sharing the rural development experience world-wide.

I observe Africa is one of the world's fastest christianising continents (forcibly christianising, by all accounts - including missionary brainwashing against ancestral heathenism, as also happens in India).



On the page of this anti-Chendogyo dictator, Park Chung Hee, it says his religion is Buddhism.

Seems more cryptochristian to me. But if he was really Buddhist after all - though it wouldn't be the first time Buddhists forcefully suppressed in exactly this manner the native religion of E, SE and Himalayan Asian populations - again: If Park really was Buddhist after all, then perhaps the 1980s/1990s/ongoing christo-attack on Buddhism in Korea - also documented in the buddhapia site - is inevitable, considering the systematic suppression and destruction of native Korean religion in the 1970s. And after all, neither christianism nor Buddhism (nor Confucianism) are the native religions of Korea.

Still, wouldn't be surprised if Park turned out to be cryptochristo in the end.
