Abstract

The commodification of religions in South Korea reveals how religious aspects are commercialized and become a very dynamic marketplace. The commodification of religions reinforces the notion that religions is still strongly significant in the era of post-modern and neo-liberalism. Religions increasingly present in the public space and marketplace in South Korea. In the context of Buddhism, the commodification of religions has changed Buddhist temples, monasteries, and rituals become attractive and massive tourist destination. In the context of Christianity, commodification shows how church institutions utilize science of marketing and management in managing the churchs and the rituals in line with the interests of conggregation. Thirdly, in the context of Islam, the doctrine of halal increasingly to be institutionalized in the Islamic world has prompted the Korean food industries producing halal products for export to Islamic countries that are a potential and big market.
