So, after his retirement, he learned pansori in Gwangju Korean Traditional Music Institute near his scrivener´s office. Chae Iseok, the former police inspector, took pansori lessons with Mr. Han, and suggested he should publish the script of Chunhyangga. Mr. Han accepted Mr. Chae`s advice and made the script with Cheong Gwangsu, a teacher in Gwangju Korean Traditional Music Institute, under the sponsorship of Mr. Chae. Meanwhile, Mr. Han maintained his opinions strongly on the farewell part and the sing of the four paintings on the wall in the Chunhyang`s room. Next, Changgeukjo Daechunhyangga(1954) and Jeontongmunhwaogasajeonjip(1986), another pansori script book by master singer Cheong Gwangsu, have different order of chang(singing) and aniri(recitation) in two parts. One is that Chunhyang was put in jail and the other is that Doryeong Lee became a Royal secret inspector and went to Namwon. And, the following pieces of Changgeukjo Daechunhyangga differ from Jeontongmunhwaogasajeonjip in jangdans(rhythmic patterns) and contents: the song of Lee`s makeup, the song of Jeokseong, the song of pointing toward Chunhyang`s house, the song of getting off work, the song of the glorious silvery moon, the song of Vice minister Seong from Hoedong, the song of preparing drinks and snacks, the song of love, the song of Chunhyang`s last ditch, the song of farewell, the song of lower servants of the Ministry of Justice, the song of appealing to the new magistrate, the song of protesting Chunhyang, the song of beaten Chunhyang, the witticism of question and answer with the Royal secret inspector and farmers, the song of Bangja paying his respects to Lee, the song of Chunhyang` will, and the song of the meeting of Lee and Chunhyang. This Changgeukjo Daechunhyangga includes the old Badi by Kim Changhwan and the new Badi by Cheong Jeongryeol. So, Park Jongwon, the master singer in same school, that is seopyeonje, supported the publication of this book sending congratulatory address. It is possible to appoint this script as the comprehensive book of the old and new seopyeonje Chunhyangga in the 1950`s performing pansori arts world.
