520 | |a The fact that in modern Korea several religions co-exist, and none of them is hegemonic or dominant, has created problems for the country’s cultural identity. The three main symbols of this identity are ambiguous. The national flag includes symbols derivedfrom the Confucian interpretation of the Chinese I Ching. The national anthem, composed by Protestants, has a reference to the Christian God. Dangun, the mythical progenitor of the Korean people, is interpreted alternatively as a historical character or agod. These symbols do not talk to each other, and their very status as national symbols is being eroded. New religions are successful in Korea, because they addressthe problem of national identity and offer new solutions to it that many Koreans find persuasive. | ||
