Blue is Satan's color, and the Dragon is one of his symbols, and across many Asian cultures, 2024 is being celebrated as the Year of the Dragon.
This randomly popped up in the my news feed and quite caught my attention, though only popped up 12 days late since New Years as 12 days ago. I gotta say, although materially wealthy and much more better-off than Communist China, South Korea has a serious Christianity issue, and the majority of religious Koreans you can find around are Christian or K-POP thumpers, and I simply was not aware that they still venerated Dragons in Korea, or that they even still practiced Asian Zodiac in Korea. Both Korea and Japan started their Year of the Dragon same as the Gregorian New Year, however China, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam don't begin theirs until February 10.

I've also been researching the history of certain Chinese dragons, I won't reveal what I found up until February 10, when the Chinese celebrate their Year of the Dragon, because believe me...it's quite exciting.
Satan in Korean mythology
In Ancient Korean religion, Satan is known by Daeheukcheon (대흑천 in native Hangul script), which is the Korean adaptation of Chinese Dàhēitiān, (大黑天), which also renders under the same characters in Japanese. Very likely, Hanja Korean also uses the same characters as Chinese and Japanese. All of these East Asian translations are adaptations of the Tibetan and Vedic Makahala (ནག་པོ་ཆེན་པོ།/महाकाल), which is the wrathful side of Lord Shiva, Father Satan.

Year of Dragon signals good luck, success, authority
Said to have a camel's head, a deer's horns, a rabbit's eyes, a cow's ears, a snake's neck, a clam's belly, a carp's scales, a hawk's claws and a tiger's paws, the dragon is an imaginary animal, but it is often depicted as real in East Asian culture.
