Broadcaster Jang Young-ran recently visited the home of veteran shaman Go Chun-ja, who has a 40-year career and is known as the real-life model for the film Exhuma.
On the afternoon of the 14th, a video titled 40-year veteran shaman ranked No. 1 in Korea cried more than Jang Young-ran's fortunetelling? was posted on the YouTube channel A급 장영란.
Jang Young-ran said, "Her career is a full 40 years. After hearing that she and her daughter-in-law together read fortunes, I came to see my New Year fortune" and conveyed her excited feelings.
Before becoming a shaman, Go Chun-ja's life was completely different from now. She began, "Originally I was a person who tailored suits and dresses." But when the tailoring work she had put effort into collapsed, she worked in a coal mine to make a living, and in that process she lost her health and confessed that she received the devastating diagnosis of "blood cancer."
Go Chun-ja battled illness while living in the hospital for a full year. During a time when there seemed to be no hope, what changed her life was the advice of an elderly woman who shared the same hospital room. Go Chun-ja said, "At the time the grandmother looked at me and said, 'Go ask a shaman,'" noting that it was the decisive trigger for realizing it was a New Recruit and walking the path of a shaman.
