North Koreas still believe in spirits even though the only official religion is the worship of their found Kim Il Sung. Sug and Dan go over some other spooky stories that are in the Korean ether and compare them with the stories that spook us out here in the US.

Ep. 41: Kim Possibles

Eternal President of North Korea, Kim Il Sung, was rumored to have had a mythical ability to fold space time and teleport anywhere. North Koreans call this "chukjibop." Recently, North Korea dispelled this rumor and said, in fact, that he did not have this ability. Kim Jong Un has slowly been bringing the mythology of his grandfather and father into more realistic territory, which is an interesting move. Why is he doing this? Could it be a reaction to what is happening with media in his country or is he just a more realistic guy. Sug and Dan discuss all of this in this episode.
