PRODUCT DETAILS
Park Dong-jin (朴東鎭, July 12, 1916 by the lunar calendar - July 8, 2003) was a changgeuk actor during the Japanese colonial era and a master pansori singer in Korea.
Born in Gongju, Chungcheongnam-do, he was also recognized as a master of pansori, and was active as a representative figure in the Korean pansori field until the 1990s.
He died of old age on July 8, 2003.
Career
Park Dong-jin was born in Mureung-ri, Janggi-myeon, Gongju-gun, Chungcheongnam-do (now Murung-dong, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do) and worked as a master pansori singer. His pseudonym is Indang. His detailed family lineage is unknown, but according to testimonies, his grandfather was a jester who excelled in land dexterity. It is said to have been received
However, it is said that his father was a farmer who had nothing to do with Korean traditional music.
At the age of 16, he began to fall in love with pansori after watching a performance by Hyeopryulsa, a school in Gongju. However, it seems that Son Byeong-doo was not originally a master singer, and shortly thereafter, Park Dong-jin received the mediation of Son Pil-mo, known as Son Byeong-doo's grandfather, and transferred to Kim Chang-jin's school to learn 《Simcheongga》.
At the age of 19, he learned 《Chunhyangga》 from Jeong Jeong-ryeol (丁貞烈, May 21, 1876 – March 21, 1938), but at the time, there were many other students of Jeong Jeong-ryeol, so he could not learn it. At the age of 21, he studied 《Jeokbyeokga》 under Jo Hak-jin, and at the age of 22, he learned 《Heungboga》 under Park Ji-hong. And he went to Seoul again and learned 《Chunhyangga》 from Jeong Jeong-ryeol. He is also said to have received guidance from Song Man-gap, but it seems that he did not learn exactly what kind of background he learned, but only received guidance with an overall tidying tendency.
Around the age of 25, his throat was damaged due to his intemperate life, so he could not act as a pansori singer, and even when he did, he could not stand on the center stage. For eight years from 1944 to 1952, he moved around in changgeuk troupes such as the Joseon Music Troupe, Kim Yeon-soo Changgeuk Troupe, and Johyang Changgeuk Troupe. On the other hand, in order to regain his voice, he continued to train for 100 days and did not hesitate to go solo. He was in charge of arranging and directing the stage at the Haennim Gukgeuk Troupe for a living, but he was still unable to engage in full-scale activities as a pansori singer.
From 1958 to 1959, he briefly served as a member of the Special Advisory Committee for Culture and Arts of the Korean Independence Party, and then in 1962 he became the National Gugak Center's Gugak Music Assistant. March 5) and Han Il-seop (1929 ~ 1973), who was active as a musician in various changgeuk troupes at the time, held a 5-hour full performance presentation of the pansori 《Heungboga》. This presentation was broadcast through VUNC, a broadcasting station of the United Nations Command, and caused a great sensation. With this as a starting point, <Chunhyangga> in 1969 for 8 hours, <Simcheongga> in 1970 for 6 hours, <Jeokbyeokga> for 7 hours in 1971, and <Sugungga> for 4 hours were released one after another. In addition, he restored and presented complete songs such as 《Byeongangsoe Taryeong》 in 1970, 《Baebijang Taryeong》, 《Sukyeongnangjajeon》, 《Ongojip Taryeong》 in 1972, and composed new pansori such as 《Seongwoong Yi Sunshin》 and 《Seongseo Pansori》. As a pansori singer, he started full-scale activities. In particular, he was recognized for his ability to fully sing 《Jeokbyeokga》, and in 1973, he was designated as an entertainer of Pansori 《Jeokbyeokga》, the 5th Important Intangible Cultural Property. In the same year, he was inaugurated as the head of the National Changgeuk Company of Korea, and began to play an active role as a leading figure in the pansori world, holding recitals more than once a year until the 1990s.
Originally without a specific religion, in 1969, at the request of Presbyterian minister Cho Hyang-rok and playwright Joo Tae-ik, he performed the original pansori 《The Story of Jesus》 as an opportunity to convert to Protestantism. He also actively participated in Protestant missionary activities.
He received the Silver Crown Cultural Medal in 1980, participated in a tour of the United States in 1981, and released 《Bible Pansori》 in the United States in 1982. In 1985, he was appointed as the National Gugak Center's Pansori Senior Instructor, and in 1987, he became a member of the National Gugak Center's leadership team. During this time, he won quite a lot of awards, and was treated as a great master of pansori as well as the best in the world of pansori in name and reality.
In the late 1990s, he came down to Gongju to focus on nurturing the younger generation and opened a training center, while still actively engaged in performance activities.
On July 8, 2003, he passed away from old age in Mureung-dong, Gongju-si, and the day after his death, on July 9, 2003, he was posthumously awarded the Order of Cultural Merit in recognition of his contributions during his lifetime.

Measuring Your Body
Find our detailed how to measure inseam and how to measure waist size here.
- Waist: Place the tape measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually around your belly button or a little above it, and measure the waist circumference in inches or centimeters.
- First Hip/Low Waist: Locate the point between your hip and your waist and place the tape measure around it.
- Hips/Second Hip: Following the guide for chest measurement, make sure the tape measure is wrapped around the widest area of your hip. No need to add room for movement if you are trying to buy stretchable jeans with a close or slim fit.
- Chest: Stand straight, with arms relaxed on your side, ask any adult at home to help you wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest area. Allow a little room for movement, maximum of 1 inch. If you are buying a jacket, use this measurement and add a few inches depending on how loose you want the jacket to fit you.
- Height: Measure from your head to toe without any footwear on. You can use a door frame as a measuring point, stand up straight against it and make sure to properly mark the highest point of your head.
- Arm length: Measure your arm length from the shoulder to the hand wrist. Don’t forget to stretch your arm.
That looks easy, doesn’t it? But that’s only the beginning. Women’s sizes are far more diverse than that for men and children. Those whose measurements are not included in a typical standard guide will need to wear apparel that fit better in sections labeled as petite, curvy, and tall, depending on their body type. There are also plus sizes and maternity sizes, and as if that’s not enough, there is also “vanity sizing”, which can really confuse consumers.

What is Vanity Sizing?
Technically referred to as a size inflation, vanity sizes are a common trend in fashion where a size number increases its corresponding measurement, often in an attempt to make buyers feel skinnier than what they would normally be. If anything, this also shows how clothing sizes have changed through the years. To avoid being confused by this trend, keep in mind the following tips, especially if you are buying online:
- Always check the online store’s size guide
- Read product reviews, comments, and ratings
- Make sure to read all product information and details
- Talk to the seller if possible
Are there clothing sizes based on height and weight?
As you would have guessed by now, this would be impossible because of the high diversity of women’s sizes when it comes to dimensions. To put it simply, a specific weight can come in different heights and body types, making it complicated, and even if you manage to match a height and weight, the body measurements can be entirely different from one person to another. If you want to ensure proper fit, always go by your specific body measurements.
Can we really rely on clothing sizes?
Doesn’t that outfit look perfect on the mannequin? But wait, you try it on yourself, and you only get disappointed! Any woman can definitely relate to this shopping experience. Now imagine shopping online, where the challenge in finding that perfect fit is doubled since one can only rely on photos and online information before deciding on a purchase. Another factor to consider is that online shops vary in sizes depending on their location, with many stores even using their own measurements that go beyond the usual “Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large” sizes, which is why consumers must be very careful when it comes to buying clothes.
Those on the extreme sides of the standard measurements will often find themselves questioning possibly every guide available out there. Published sizes can be really confusing, especially if you are looking at a size guide that you are not familiar with, so it will always help to keep your updated sizes handy and compare it against the chart you are looking at. Keep in mind that you should also adjust your body measurements depending on the type of fit you want. While we may all have an idea how clothing sizes are determined, it will still pay to be extra meticulous if you want to reduce or eliminate the chances of having to return that item you purchased online.
Dressing for Your Body Type
- Tall – if you stand 5’8” or above, you are most likely to find a good fit in the “Tall Section” especially if you are buying bottoms like jeans, trousers, and skirts.
- Petite – for heights 5’3” and below, the “Petite Section” is a good place to shop from whether you are buying dresses or tops and bottoms.
- Curvy – the “Curvy Section” ideally caters to women whose waist measurements are at least 7 inches smaller than their chest measurements, and hip measurement that are 10 inches greater than their waistline.
- Plus Size – this term may vary per country, but in general, this refers to those above the sizes 10 and XL, although some brands often use the term “curvy” as well to avoid sounding offensive. Not all brands carry plus sizes, so if you fall on the larger size of the chart, keep an eye on brands that offer plus sizes.
To help you find that perfect fit whether buying online or not, you can refer to the guides below, created for each clothing type, just convert as needed from the standard table above. For dresses, sweaters, and suits, you can use the table above as well.
Tips to find the right clothing size
Tip 1: Measurements
It is best to take the trouble to measure your body measurements with a tape measure. It is decisive: Chest, waist and hips including buttocks. The neck circumference is still interesting for men. Write down your values and put the note in your wallet for your next purchase. Most sellers should be able to do this and advise you accordingly.
Tip 2: Manufacturer tables
When shopping online, it turned out that many manufacturers and brands have their own measurements. The corresponding tables are often offered in the online shops to click on. Use them to make sure! If you are shopping in a store of the same brand, printing this table can be helpful.
Tip 3: Read ratings
Also, often useful: the comments and ratings of other online shoppers on a garment. Many people state in their ratings whether the garment has fitted as expected, or whether they recommend a number smaller or larger to others. You can also often find references to quality and material in the evaluations.
Tip 4: Your figure type
In addition to body dimensions, the figure type is also relevant: Some have narrow shoulders, others have a slender waist and the next one has a wider pelvis. Look out for brands or cuts that cater to your figure type.
Figure types
Figure type H: Upper and lower body are the same width or narrow, barely waist
With this type of figure, you should take care to emphasize your femininity and create unavailable curves visually through clothing. For example, with highly waisted, flared skirts or waist belt. Statement chains and generally jewelry can also help.
Figure type V: Wider shoulders, the body becomes narrower towards the bottom
In the case of sporty shoulders, one should take a back seat and emphasize the slender legs and cuffs. Uni-colored tops with V-neck create a good balance. Trousers and skirts may gladly stand in the focus and show off with colors and patterns.
Figure type X: Shoulders and hips are equally wide, narrow waist
The most feminine of all figure types should skillfully stage his curves. For example, with narrow pencil skirts, high waistbands and waisted tops. However, the clothes should definitely fit well to achieve the wow effect.
Figure type O: The center of the body is slightly wider than the rest
If you are rather roundish and would like to conceal this, it is best to wear long blazers or longer cardigans, combined with slender trousers and skirts. A V-neck is more flattering than a round neck. Basically it should be a bit purer, rather wear darker colors on the stomach and tan trousers. Patterns and colors rather “outside” than jacket or cloth. Even long chains are good for stretching.
Figure type A: Top narrow, wider hips
A clever choice of clothes can make this type of figure look more balanced: The slender upper body and shoulders can be accentuated by eye-catching tops, colors or patterns, shoulder flaps or shawls, while the legs and hips can be set to more subdued colors. Straight trousers and skirt cuts stretch optically.
Pro Tip: For quick conversions, always keep updated measurements as close to your body as possible without any clothes in the way. Keep this information handy by saving it on your phone or securing it inside your wallet.
