Abstract

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, many religious groups from various countries became actively engaged in Central Asia. In light of this development, this paper examines post-Soviet types of religious development and re-imagining of religion based on several case studies of Korean religious activities in Central Asia. In particular, this paper examines how the Korean religious organizations have engaged in this new environment in Central Asia. Many Korean religious groups began their activities due to the presence of their ethnic compatriots (Koryo-in) living in Central Asia. The activities of the two major Korean religious groups, Christian and Buddhist, in Central Asia are explored. Before dealing with the subject, the religious condition and religious peculiarity of Korea and Koreans in the mainland (South Korea) are examined.
