Gossip has an informal nature of content and form. So, rather than being documented, gossip can be spread publicly through a cultural art with a strong old-fashioned personality like pansori. <Gewusa> is a novelized version of the 19th-century pansori <Musugi-tayeong>, which shows pansori performed as a form of gossip.The character ‘Musugi’ in <Gewusa> is a typical 19th-century 'Walja' andis a celebrity of the day. 333 is the object of attention to those who enjoy the surrounding people and the narrative, but a negative connotation, which is analogous to gossip, surrounds it. <Gewusa> lists, exaggerating wealth and falls through repetition, which reflects the interests of the hedges of it. The cologne of <Gewusa> reveals vicarious satisfaction and jealousy through ‘Musugi’s’ story, leading to criticism and omens through norms.<Gewusa> is predicated on curiosity about other people's lives. So,‘Musugi’s’ tragedy also lacks seriousness because of the factual mechanism of deception. In <Gewusa> the story of the rich and the bankruptcy of ‘Musugi’ become the gossip of the working class because of the platonic expression. These stories are meaningful in that they show that the pansori format can be an informal discourse medium for gossip.
