hi yeri !! just wanted to ask where you get your resources for korean mythology from?

hihiiii! i do the majority of my research by purchasing or borrowing books, cross-referencing classical documents, reading academic papers, and government websites! i'll also do museum visits and in the future i'm planning on conducting interviews (i've done one with a mudang before, and she was reaaaally helpful!) i'm not a history major so i struggle with compiling resources, and for that reason i try to limit my inquiry to the methods i listed above!

***wikipedia should not be utilized as a primary source! i've verified incorrect information in there before, at most it should be used as a collection for sources cited***

i'll try and recommend a handful of the more beginner sources i like, but please note that i have no idea whether or not most of these have english translations!

tshb idol!au got me getting leader vibes from iseul (also!! she's literally soyeon!! <3) + the way you described yul actually made me feel like they're the famous ipdeok fairy of the group bcs the stiff-cold "serving face" member is actually popular these days—

the stiff-cold member would've gotten torn apart if they were in gen 1 so i think it's soooo funny that a face card is all you need now hsjfsjsf but i guess that's how yul gets away with being a reluctant idol. face card never declines (￣︶￣)
