Suunism is one of the Korean ethnic religions derived from Sinism.[1] It is a splinter from Cheondoism that in turn originated as an organised formation of the Donghak movement.[1] "Suwun" was another name used by Choe Je-u.[2] Suwunists claim to have transmitted a purer version of his teaching.[2]
The religion's headquarters are located in Daejeon,[3] where Suwun himself moved in 1929 after having preached in Seoul since 1923.[3] The religion focuses on the worship of Okhwangsangje Haneullim (the "Great Jade Emperor of Heaven"),[3] in order to make the earth a paradise through the reconnection to the One.[3] An important symbol of the faith is Gungeul ("Archer Bird").[3] The doctrine includes belief in the Maitreya.[4]
