Korea and Religion

Korea and Religion

Over the last couple of years I’ve seen serveral South Korean dramas. Some about Zombies which seems to have caught on there. And more recently Squid Game.
In most is these shows there are Christian characters who generally take on the role of a fool. I was suprised since by and large that was the only reference to religion in the programmes.
SK is 56% “non religious”, and only about 12% Xian. (according to the CIA)

I wondered if there were any one on the Forum that had special knowldge about S. Korea, who could shed light on what seems to be a recurring theme.
