Webtoon Blends Shamanism with Stock Market Intrigue

"ShaMANEYism" (written by Narak, illustrated by Younggi, Naver Webtoon) depicts a world where hiring shamans to predict stock price movements through supernatural powers has become a hidden practice in South Korea's financial hub of Yeouido.

The protagonist, Cheon Ji-seung, possesses overwhelming spiritual abilities and enters Yeouido as a shaman who performs "salgut"—rituals that artificially crash stock prices. In an ecosystem where massive capital and shamanistic beliefs are bizarrely intertwined, Cheon confronts those who seek to exploit his powers for wealth and influence.

"ShaMANEYism" has garnered attention for its sophisticated fusion of two seemingly incompatible subjects: the stock market and shamanism. The series has drawn praise for its dynamic depiction of ritual scenes and its chilling portrayal of characters' emotions, which heighten reader immersion.
