"남신" (Namshin) refers to a concept in Korean culture that translates to "male deity" or "male god." It is often associated with various mythological figures and is a part of the broader belief system in Korean shamanism. These deities are typically revered for their powers and influence over nature, fertility, and human affairs. In modern contexts, "남신" can also refer to characters in literature, film, or television that embody masculine traits or divine qualities. This term may appear in discussions about Korean folklore or in the analysis of K-drama narratives, where male characters often take on heroic or god-like roles.
