Literary works
[edit]He is prominent in the gasa and the sijo, which are forms of classical Korean poetry.
The following two poems are an exchange between Jeong Cheol and the gisaeng Jinok. Jeong is playing on Jinok's name, which means Genuine Gem. First he calls her a gem (ok; 玉), then suggests she is an imitation (beon-ok; 燔玉) and finally finds her to be genuine (jin-ok; 眞玉).
옥(玉)이 옥(玉)이라 커늘 번옥(燔玉)으로 여겼더니 |
Gem, oh, they talk of a gem |
Jinok replies by playing on the name of Jeong Cheol (鄭澈), first calling him iron (cheol; 鐵), then suggesting he might be false iron (seop-cheol; 攝鐵) and finally discovering he is genuine iron (jeong cheol; 正鐵). Unquestionably bawdy, this exchange is one of the finest examples of satire in sijo — a poetic form that placed high value on wit, double entendre and word play.
철(鐵)이 철(鐵)이라커늘 섭철(攝鐵)로만 여겼더니 |
Iron, oh, they talk of iron |
Other Works:
- Gwandong Byeolgok (The Song of the Sceneries of the Gwandong).
- Samiingok (Mindful of My Seemly Lord).
- Songgang Gasa (Songgang's Prose Poetry Book).

- Portrayed by Joo Jin-mo in the 2014 KBS2 TV series The King's Face.
- Portrayed by Sun Dong-Hyuk in the 2015 KBS2 TV series The Jingbirok: A Memoir of Imjin War.
