The korean folk religion was suppressed in different times and this led to a declining number of shrines. The destruction, neglect, or dilapidation of shamanic shrines was particularly extensive in the movement Misin tapa undong ("to defeat the worship of gods"). However, the 1970s and 1980s saw the most zealous anti-religion campaign and destruction of korean shrines with the Saemaul Undong (Korean: 새마을 운동). In recent years there have been cases of reconstruction of shrines and resumption of rites in some villages.
