"One More Grave Plot Sold in Chaebol Family Cemetery"... Is the Movie 'Pamyoo' Reality?

Story Revealed by a Mortician with 30 Years of Experience
Secretly Buried to Receive the Energy of a Myungdang Spot

Undertaker Yoo Jae-cheol shared an anecdote about discovering a double coffin burial (a situation where two coffins are placed inside one grave) while exhuming a grave on behalf of a chaebol family. Yoo is the real-life inspiration for the undertaker character Go Young-geun, played by actor Yoo Hae-jin in the popular movie "Exhumation."

In an interview with 'Sevens News' on the 5th, Yoo revealed that he found the double coffin burial about three years ago. He began by saying, "One of the top 10 chaebols in our country contacted me and entrusted me with the exhumation work."

The grave Yoo handled was wide and deep, about 3 to 4 meters across. Yoo explained the situation at the time, saying, "People in the past dug graves very deep. As I was digging deeper, the soil on the right collapsed, and another coffin appeared."

He continued, "The grandmother's grave of the top 10 chaebol family was about a century old. But it seems someone secretly placed a double coffin there to receive the energy of the auspicious grave site." He added, "If the grandmother's coffin was buried 2 meters deep, the double coffin was lying sideways about 1.5 meters away. I've occasionally heard that such things exist next to noble or well-off families' graves."

In reality, double coffin burials are mostly cases where someone secretly buries another coffin to receive the energy of a prime grave site. Since the double coffin Yoo discovered was in a chaebol family's grave, it appears to be a similar case.

Yoo is a veteran undertaker with 30 years of experience in the industry, having conducted funerals for many famous domestic figures. It is said that he also oversaw the funerals of former presidents such as Roh Tae-woo, Chun Doo-hwan, Kim Young-sam, Kim Dae-jung, and Roh Moo-hyun.

Regarding his work as an undertaker, he said, "At first, I didn't know how many years I would do this. I couldn't even tell my friends or anyone about my job." However, he added, "As I continued, the families holding the funerals were grateful, and I found it rewarding and developed a sense of pride."

He also explained the meaning of a popular scene from the movie "Exhumation." In the film, after exhumation, a feng shui master throws a 100-won coin. Yoo said, "It's a kind of usage fee. Throwing three 10-won coins means that the grave has been well used until now." He added, "When the director came to the exhumation filming site, he must have seen me throwing three 10-won coins. In the movie, they threw a 100-won coin."
