You provide references for the other points, but not this. I can see it being true for older people, but is it really true in general? (I actually had this question before since I'm seeing a lot of shamans in the kdramas and it puzzles me since there is little of this in the west.)

In my experience, there is a lot of little urban legends and superstitions that young people still take part in / talk about, but it's unclear how many do it for fun and how many partially believe it. Anecdotally, I've met plenty of young people (20s) who believe the whole bloodtype/personality thing.
