“This too shall pass, this too shall pass, overcome the pain, and you will be reborn in paradise.” The DJing stage of Monk Newjin (comedian Seongho Yoon), who appeared at a Buddhist event, is heating up online, saying it is “more hip than a club.”
This stage was held at the 2024 Seoul International Buddhist Expo, which opened at the Seoul Trade Exhibition and Convention Center (SETEC) in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 4th. Hosted by the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, this expo showcases various Buddhist culture and arts, including Buddhist crafts, clothing such as monks’ uniforms, temple food, and Buddhist art, under the slogan ‘Fun Buddhism.’
In particular, this year’s fair is receiving favorable reviews for its various side events, experiential exhibitions, and goods prepared to suit the perspectives of the younger generation.
A scene of a monk making a brass bowl ring to EDM music became a hot topic on X (Twitter). The ‘deathbed experience’, which makes the rest of life special, was also evaluated as unique, and goods such as printed T-shirts and ‘snapping rat’ ceramics also attracted attention. The ‘Concern Counseling Center’, where the AI Ministry provides counseling for concerns, also attracted visitors.

One of the highlights of the fair was DJ Newjins’ stage. Monk Newjin is a sub-character of comedian Yoon Seong-ho, and contains the meaning of breaking prejudice against Buddhism and moving forward. Seongho Yoon came on stage wearing a costume reminiscent of his monk’s robe and a headset placed on his shaved head. He thrilled the audience by playing music that remixed Buddhist scriptures with EDM.
Audience members uploaded related videos to “I’m just waiting for the fair,” he said.
Following Monk Newjin, on the 6th, Monk Beomjeong of Hwaeomsa Temple, who is called ‘Flower Monk’ for his beautiful appearance, will deliver a sermon on the theme of ‘hip Buddhism’.

An official at the Seoul International Buddhism Expo said, “Traditional Buddhist culture, which was somewhat unfamiliar to the younger generation in the past, is satisfying the tastes of the MZ generation that values unique experiences,” and added, “It is expected to be a ‘hip’ expo with a young sensibility added to traditional Buddhist culture. “He said. The fair continues until the 7th, and admission is 5,000 won.
