Daejongism (, "religion of the Divine Progenitor" or "great ancestral religion") and Dangunism ( Dangungyo or Tangunkyo, "religion of Dangun") are the names of a number of religious movements within the framework of modern paganism, focused on the worship of Dangun (or Tangun). There are around seventeen of these groups, the main one of which was founded in Seoul in 1909 by (1864–1916).
Dangunists believe their mythos to be the authentic Korean native religion, that was already around as Gosindo (古神道, "way of the Ancestral God" or "ancient way of God") at the time of the first Mongol invasions of Korea, and that was revived as "Daejongism" (Daejonggyo) just at the start of the Japanese occupation. The religion was suppressed during the Japanese rule.
