Korean superstitions are not only interesting, but they’re still widely used today. It’s a fun way to learn about cultural norms, especially if you are living or traveling in Korea.
Korea has it’s own set of unique superstitions. Although everyone doesn’t believe in them, most people know about them. That makes for some great conversation topics, especially if you want to speak Korean and improve your conversation skills.
Moving on certain days may bring evil spirits along for the ride. Many Koreans believe that moving to a new home or apartment must be done on a specific day of the month. Many Korean moving companies even post ‘good moving days’ and ‘bad moving days’ to move on their websites. The reason behind this odd superstition is quite unique. It’s believed that evil spirits or uninvited house guests from the afterlife may follow you to your new home if you move on certain days. Thankfully there’s an easy solution to this problem, speak with the moving company in advance to determine what days have the least chances of the undead hitching a ride to your new apartment.
It’s moving day, so make sure you have everything packed. Favorite athletic shoes? Check. Giant coffee mug from a trip to India? Check. Evil spirits? Best to leave those behind!
Superstitious Koreans believe that if you move on certain days of the month, it can be bad luck. The reason is that that evil spirits will follow you to your new place. According to folklore, the ghosts will be prevented from heading into the heavens if you block them with your moving activities on certain days.
Luckily, there is a calendar that will help you choose the right dates to move according to this superstition. Follow this calendar and to make sure that you keep the bad luck away from you. The calendar title is called“손없는날 달력” (soneomneunnal dallyeok | evil spirit-free day calendar). 손 (son) means “evil spirit”. Stay away from the dates on the calendar with“손없는날 (soneomneunnal)” written on it!
