''Chunhyangga'' is the most famous ''pansori'' in Korea, having had considerable popularity in the country for the past century. ''Chunhyangga'' is considered to be the best ''pansori'' musically, and as a work of literature and play. There are no records confirming the exact time when ''Chunhyangga'' was written. ''Chunhyangga'' can be found in ''Manwhajip'' written by Yu Jin-han during the Joseon Dynasty, as well as in ''Mugeukhangrok'' of the same era written by Juik-Yang. Therefore, it supposed that ''Chunhyangga'' has existed since before Sukjong of Joseon (1661–1720). The Chunhyangga is not only a story about a woman of chaste reputation, but also about resistance to the aristocracy. The story stars Chunhyang, the daughter of a gisaeng, who becomes the wife of a district magistrate. This indicates that the story's writer denied the status system. In ''Chunhyangga'' one can find an expression of the common people's wish for truth and human freedom. The story has various scenes: one is peaceful, one sad, one humorous, and one serious. The music changes with the scene, story and themes. The diverse ''pansori'' singers who have performed it over time have contributed famous ''deoneum'', so it is valuable musically and historically. ''Chunhyangga'' is the longest among the five ''pansori''s. In 1969, master singer of ''pansori'' Park Dong-jin sang ''Chunhyangga'' for eight hours (surprising his audience). The original version of ''Chunhyangga'' was not that long, but has been greatly developed over time. The singers of ''pansori'' added new techniques, melodies and stories to ''Chunhyangga''.〔재미있는 우리국악 이야기〕 ''Chunhyangga'' is one of the five surviving stories of the Korean ''pansori'' storytelling tradition. The other stories are ''Simcheongga'', ''Heungbuga'', ''Jeokbyeokga'' and ''Sugungga''. Although based on older traditional songs, it was composed in its present form in the 1870s by the pansori writer Shin Jae-hyo. ''Chunhyangga'' tells the story of love between Chunhyang, the daughter of a ''kisaeng'' entertainer, and Yi Mongryong, the son of a magistrate. After the two are illegally married, Mongryong goes to Seoul and a corrupt local magistrate attempts to force Chunhyang to be his concubine. She refuses and is faced with death, but is rescued at the last minute by Mongryong returning in his new role as a secret royal inspector.
