Korean beliefs about the afterlife are rooted in various religious and spiritual traditions, including Buddhism, Confucianism, Shamanism, and Taoism. While some Koreans believe in reincarnation, heaven, or hell, others adopt more secular views. Ancestor worship and other traditional practices continue to be an important part of Korean culture. However, as Korea continues to modernize, it remains to be seen how these beliefs will evolve in the future.
