The life and art of Jung Ei-jin, a female pansori singer and keeper of the disappearing Dongpyeonje Pansori Sugungga, and her disciples.

Jung Uijin (79), the last transferee of the four Gukchang families, is looking for a transferee of the Dongpyeonje Sugungga. Jung Uijin has many disciples, but everyone is unsuitable as a transferee due to circumstances. Jung Uijin is suffering because he can't find a successor as he ages. Students who continue their dreams narrowly between art and livelihood say they are happy when they sing.

The film Sugung-The Underwater Palace is about the struggles between the lives and art of Jeong Eui-jin and her disciples, who want to pass on the disappearing Dongpyeonje Sugungga. The original form of the sound of the Korean spirit is well preserved in Pansori, which has been orally passed down without score, especially in the Sugungga of Dongpyeonje. The lives, stories, and sound of many female singers in the past that have disappeared without being recorded will be recalled to the present and will be told along with the upbeat pansori Sugungga. The film Sugung-The Underwater Palace, which is about female singers who are currently continuing the sound of men, that is faster, lighter, and cooler than rap, is a film enjoyable with both eyes and ears.
