Usage notes
- 무속인 (巫俗人, musogin) is the term generally used in polite or public situations, such as in academia or television broadcasts. It is not as common in conversation, where 무당 (巫堂, mudang) is most common, nor in direct address to a shaman, where honorific titles or regional terms (see the thesaurus linked above) are more likely to be used.
