Gang Il-Sun (1871–1909), also known as
Jeungsan Kang Il-sun and known to his followers as
JeungSan SangJeNim, is the founder of a religion that lead to the Korean religions
Jeung San Do and
Daesoon Jinrihoe. He was born what is now called Sinwol-ri, Deokcheon-myeon, Jeongeup-si, North Jeolla province of Korea.
Jeung San Do, like Korean new religions (
sinheung jonggyo, literally, "newly emerged religions") in general is a syncretism of Buddhism (
Bul-gyo), Confucianism (
Yu-gyo), Taoism (
Do-gyo), certain elements borrowed from Christianity (
Gidok-gyo) and an underlying
Korean shamanism (
Musok-Sinang).
