This article was written to formally report to the academic world the 13 sijo works included in the Gyojaejip, Yoon Je and his son Yun Jeong-woo’s manuscript. These families are little known in academic world. Therefore, in this paper, we analyzed in detail the editions and contents of the Gyojaejip, the only collection of literature for Yoon Je and his son Yoon Jeong-woo, and based on it, we reviewed the biographical facts of the their life and Sijo works, using Huh Mok's Yeokhakjunsu as a clue. Yoon Je and his son Yoon Jeong-woo were representative students of Jeong Gae-cheong, who constituted the Honam academic system in the early to mid 16th century. And their Chinese poetry and the sijo were closely related to Neo-Confucianism. Specifically, Yoon je created the 5 sijo works with the theme of Simseong, and his son Yoon Jeong-woo created the 8 sijo works with the theme of Taegeuk. Their literary value is fully recognized in that they show a different trend from the sijo works of the Honam region known so far. It is hoped that the discussion in this paper will be of some help to the study of the academic world and sijo works of the Yoon Je and his son Yoon Jeong-woo, as well as the 16th and 7th century Honam academic circle, including their teacher Jeong Gae-cheong.
