Chokjeok ( 가리킨다) refers to a musical instrument played by blowing thick, tough leaves into the lips and at the same time playing with it. It is also known as Chogum and Pulpiri.

In the 24th year of King Seongjong's reign of Joseon (1493), a royal music book compiled by Seonghyeon and others, there is a collection of chowgeum, and a collection of chowgeum music is also seen in the royal court's Jinyeon-gwe, a report on the royal ceremony. In addition, the records of Chogum Sinawe and Chogum Samhyeon, which were recorded by a Chogum master named Kang Chun-seop during the Japanese Colonial Period, appear to have been played as professional music in the royal court and in the private sector since early on.

The court music's foundation has already been cut off, and the private music's collection is almost at risk of being cut off. Fortunately, Park Chan-beom, who was designated as a first-time entertainment holder, held several performances as he could learn Chogum from his father and make Chogum's voice well, and play Sinawe well with Chogum. He also played Chogum with an orchestra.
