The god of the castle who raised the collapsed house and the god of the kitchen who waited for the family in the cold water
Love and faith in family as told by the household gods


In the popular webtoon, “Along with the Gods,” which was also made into a movie, the characters Seongju Shin and Jo Wangshin appear, although they have small roles and have a strong presence.
The guardian deity of the house, Seongju, and the guardian deity of the kitchen, Jowangsin, always stay with the family, protecting and caring for them.
Although the two men became gods for different reasons, they work together to bring peace to their home and family.
Perhaps they are the gods who live closest to us.


Seongjushin was originally a human named Hwang Wooyang, and was the best carpenter in the entire heavens and on earth who built houses.
Hwang Woo-yang, who ascended to heaven to rebuild the collapsed heavenly palace, loses his house and wife to a man named So Jin-rang.
Jo Wang-shin was also a human woman named Yeo San-bu, but was killed by a woman named No Il-jeo-dae whom he met while out on business.
Noiljeodae pretends to be a woman of the dead and tries to ruin her family.
However, the two people who believed in their family and wisely overcame the crisis that came to them were reborn as gods who stayed at home.


Home is a warm and comfortable space for everyone.
The myths of the house gods tell us how precious and important we have considered the space called home since ancient times.
Let us meet the wisdom of the gods around us, Seongjusin and Jowangsin, who strive to create a harmonious home, as the saying goes, “Everything is good for one’s family.”

★ Why You Should Read 『Korean Mythology in Comics』 Right Now ★

1.
Cultural Identity and Proper Character Learning through Korean Mythology

Myths are stories containing the life experiences and thoughts of people who have lived on this land since long ago.
If we can understand Western culture through Greco-Roman mythology, we can learn about our culture and values ​​through Korean mythology.
To know Korean mythology is to understand the lessons embedded in our culture and the unchanging values ​​of life.
Moreover, Korean mythology contains the spirit of living together rather than competing with or dominating others.
Children who will live independently in modern society can learn about our people's roots, civic virtues, and a spirit of harmony and consideration.


2.
Reading classics in advance through old stories
Korean mythology, rich in symbolism, helps children interpret the classics they will encounter in the future.
『Korean Mythology in Comics』 provides an accurate and comprehensive understanding of mythology through commentary by mythologist Professor Lee Gyeong-deok.
This is a more interesting and novel story than Heungbu and Simcheong, which can help children become more familiar with classics and build cultural knowledge.


3.
Independent growth through various character role models

In Korean mythology, many gods and humans appear as main characters.
The activities of female gods stand out, and it is interesting to see character types that are different from those in Greco-Roman or Norse mythology, such as humans becoming gods.
They solve problems and proactively correct the order of the world in a way that is quite different from the gods we are accustomed to seeing.
The image of the gods, who show the power of living by gently embracing and caring for one another, provides desirable role models for children.
