Joung Tae-choon is a South Korean singer-songwriter, poet, cultural activist, and social activist who has pursued a "Korean folk." He is called Korea's leading minstrel because he writes his own lyrics that encompass both lyricism and sociality and publishes his work in a natural melody that incorporates Korean traditional music characteristics. Joung Tae-choon's activities, who is not only a musical activity but also an activist who is passionately devoted to various cultural and social movements, led to the Constitutional Court's decision to unconstitutional music pre-deliberation in 1996 by launching the "Music Pre-deliberation Movement" in the early 1990s.
