	Jeon Woo-chi Jeon Woo-chi (, 14?? ~ 15??) was a Taoist scholar during the Joseon dynasty of Korea. He is known by many as the most prominent "sorcerer" in Korean history, and a representative trickster from old Korean literature. His art name was Woosa (), which means "featherman". Though he was a Taoist heretic, he studied Confucianism under Seo Gyeong-deok. Stories about his life According to the '' Complete Works from Azure Residence'' by Yi Deok-moo, when Jeon was very young, he went to a mountain temple to study in solitude. One day, the rice wine which was brewed at the temple vanished. The monks scolded Jeon, accusing him of drinking it. Jeon was aggrieved and upset, so he decided to hunt down the true culprit. He waited beside the wine jugs until twilight. At dusk, a nine-tailed fox came out from the forest and drank the wine until she was drunk. Jeon jumped out and tied her up with some rope. The fox offered him her grimoire if he would release her. Jeon accepted that and became a s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Hong Gildong Jeon ''Hong Gildong jeon'' (Hangul: 홍길동전; hanja: 洪吉童傳) is a Korean novel, often translated as ''The Biography of Hong Gildong'', written during the Joseon Dynasty. Hong Gildong, an illegitimate son of a nobleman and his lowborn concubine, is the main character of the story. Gifted with supreme intelligence and supernatural abilities, he steals from rich and corrupt aristocrats, which has drawn him comparisons to famous bandits like the English folk hero Robin Hood and Australia’s Ned Kelly. Historical sources point to the existence of a bandit named Hong Gildong who was arrested in 1500, but the historical inspiration for the character was the Korean bandit and folk hero Im Kkeokjeong, who lived in the early 16th century. The character of Hong Gildong has become a mainstay of Korean culture and literature. In Korea today, Hong Gildong is a common placeholder name, similar to John Doe in the United States.

	Korean Novels Korean literature is the body of literature produced by Koreans, mostly in the Korean language and sometimes in Classical Chinese. For much of Korea's 1,500 years of literary history, it was written in Hanja. It is commonly divided into classical and modern periods, although this distinction is sometimes unclear. Korea is home to the world's first metal and copper type, the world's earliest known printed document and the world's first featural script. Korean literature Classical Korean literature has its roots in traditional folk beliefs and folk tales of the Korean peninsula. There are four major traditional poetic forms: hyangga ("native songs"); byeolgok ("special songs"), or changga ("long poems"); sijo ("current melodies"); and gasa ("verses").
