Jumak (Korean: 조막) were traditional Korean taverns or inns[1] that provided alcohol, food, and lodgings to travellers.[2] They are also called jusa (酒肆), juga (酒家), or jupo (酒舖). It is unknown when jumak first came into existence. One early mention of a jumak was one called Cheongwan (天官) that was owned by a kisaeng (female entertainer). According to the text Samguk yusa, a general of Silla, Kim Yu-sin, frequented the establishment when he was young. Another early source attests to jumak in 1097 during King Sukjong's reign in the Goryeo Dynasty.[3]
