Simcheongga (Korean: 심청가) is one of the five surviving stories of the Korean pansori storytelling tradition.[1][2] The other stories are Chunhyangga, Heungbuga, Jeokbyeokga, and Sugungga. The characteristic of this story is that it deals with the difficult lives of ordinary people in the late Joseon Dynasty, and it contains the heroism and values of life that ordinary people wanted at that time. In the end, it is a fantasy genre in which the socially disadvantaged overcome hardships and have a dramatic happy ending.[3]
