Táto diplomová práca sa zameriava na veštenie (predpovedanie budúcnosti) v modernej kórejskej spoločnosti. Napriek tomu, že Južná Kórea je jednou z naj rozvinutejších a najmodernejších krajín sveta, veštectvo v nej pretrvalo. A aj keď sa väčšina moderných Juhokórejčanov považuje za kresťanov alebo budhistov, stále veľa ľudí navštevuje veštcov, aby našli riešenia svojich každodenných problémov alebo len ako formu zábavy. Úvodná teoretická časť práce poskytuje základné východiská týkajúce sa vzniku veštenia a jeho histórie. Ako autoritatívny výskum kategorizuje metódy veštenia a ako môžeme klasifikovať praktiky, ktoré sa používajú v Kórei? Ako sa tieto praktiky vyvinuli? A aké bolo postavenie veštenia v kórejskej spoločnosti a kultúre v minulosti? Hlavná časť tejto práce zahŕňa analýzu najbežnejšej metódy veštenia rozšírenej v Kórei, ktorou sú "štyri piliere osudu" (saju). Prostredníctvom všeobecného pochopenia princípov, na ktorých saju stojí, sa pokúša zostaviť čiastkové proroctvá, ktorých objavenie je možné očakávať v získaných horoskopoch. Ďalej skúma, do akej miery veštci uplatňujú všeobecné pravidlá a aké sú rozdiely medzi priamym veštením (z očí do očí) a online veštením, v otázke zhody obsahu. Na záver porovnáva výsledky a zistenia so zavedeným výskumom, či už sú v zhode alebo v rozpore.

This master thesis project focuses on fortune telling (divination, prediction) in modern Korean society. Despite the fact South Korea is one of the most developed and modern countries in the world, the practice of fortune telling has persisted. And even though a majority of modern South Koreans conceive of themselves either as Christians or Buddhists, a great number of people still visit fortune tellers to either find solutions for their everyday problems or simply as a form of entertainment. The introductory ("theoretical") part of this work provides basic backgrounds in regard to the origins of fortune telling and its history. How does authoritative research categorize the methods of divination and how can we classify the practices that are applied in Korea? How did these develop? And what has been the place of fortune telling in Korean society and culture in the past? The main part of this work involves a discussion of the most common fortune telling method prevalent in contemporary Korea, that is the "four pillars of destiny" (saju). Through a general understanding of the principles on which saju stands, it tries to set up partial prophecies that are expected to appear in fortune readings that are to be given. It further examines to which extent the general rules are applied by fortune tellers and what the differences are between face to face and online divinations in the matter of content match, comparing the results and findings with established research, be it for confirmation, be it for contradiction.
