Do Koreans use fortune-telling to predict their future?

In Korean variety shows and dramas, it's common to see scenes where the fate of a main character is predicted in a uniquely Korean way. On variety shows, fortunes are often used to check celebrity compatibility or predict success before new activities. In dramas, the main character might rely on fortune-telling to navigate challenging situations or make important decisions.

This tradition of fortune-telling isn’t just for entertainment—it's a part of everyday Korean culture. Many Koreans enjoy checking their New Year's fortunes to get a glimpse of what lies ahead and to plan accordingly. These readings provide a general sense of when good or bad energy might appear during the year, helping people prepare in advance. For those with significant life events on the horizon, like major exams or starting a new business, New Year's fortunes offer reassurance and motivation for new beginnings.


Why is Saju popular among Koreans?

The Tradition and Logic Behind the Four Pillars of Destiny

The Four Pillars of Destiny, also known as Saju, is a time-honored method used to interpret a person’s personality and fate based on their birth year, month, day, and hour. Each individual’s unique Four Pillars reveal insights into their tendencies, life challenges, health, finances, and more. Unlike shamanism, which relies on supernatural elements, the Four Pillars method is rooted in academic analysis and logical interpretation. This grounded approach is one reason why it remains so popular among Koreans today.

Easy Accessibility

Fortune-telling in Korea is incredibly accessible. Fortune-telling houses can be found everywhere, from bustling areas like Gangnam, Myeongdong, and Seongsu to smaller neighborhoods. Many of these places even offer phone consultations for added convenience. Recently, online fortune-telling has gained popularity, allowing people to check their fortunes anytime and anywhere. This mix of tradition and modern convenience makes fortune-telling an integral part of Korean culture.
