Korean Mythology is characterized by a focus on shamanism and ancestor worship. These mythological stories were heavily influenced by Chinese culture and thus share similar themes of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.

Korean mythology is notable for its integration of historical and legendary figures, blurring the lines between myth and history. Kings, heroes, and cultural icons that were deified play an important role in Korean mythology.
