About
In Korean mythology, Jeoseung Saja (Korean: 저승사자; lit. 'Netherworld Emissary') or Jeoseung Chasa (Korean: 저승차사) are psychopomps who guide the souls of the dead to the afterlife. Like Yeomna Daewang (Korean: 염라대왕; Hanja: 閻羅大王), Jeoseung Sajas are both Buddhist divinities, who were adopted by Korean Shamanism and eventually became associated with Korean beliefs not found in Buddhism. Jeoseung Sajas are depicted as a stern and ruthless bureaucrat in Yeomna Daewang's service.
