This study reviews the influence on compilation of 『Chung-Jin』 of those who associated with Kim Chuntaek. Thanks to his outstanding musicality, he could associate with the upper classes of his time. Especially he made personal connections with the figures of Andong Kim family(Noron), and this could have helped compilation of 『Chung-Jin』 through collecting musical works. As seen in the epilog of Joo Euishik and Kim Sunggi, Kim Chuntaek first got hands on a few works that were handed down orally, he tried hard to find more of the author’s works, and finally obtained the collection works from his friends and included the works after reading three times. This process was equally applicable to the case of Jung Chul who had 51 works included in 『Chung-Jin』. Considering the fact that Jung Chul was the leader of Seoin and Seoin had the same genealogy as Noron, it was easy for Kim Chuntaek to obtain 『Songang gasa』 via association with Andong Kim family. The same assumption can be made for the case of Kim Gwangwook, Shin Hum, and Jo Jonsung. It was confirmed that these three people associated with on another, Kim Gwangwook was a grandfather of Kim Sungchoi, and Kim Sungchoi associated with Kim Chuntaek. Thus, it is highly likely that the works of these three were handed to Kim Chuntaek via Kim Sungchoi. For the case of Nangwongun, he possessed his own Gajip 『Youngeon』, and Kim Chuntaek included 30 of his works after obtaining 『Youngeon』. And obtaining 『Youngeon』 could also be possible thanks to association with Andong Kim family. As Yoon Sundo belonged to Namin which was in hostile relations with Noron, it might have been difficult for Kim Chuntaek to obtain 『Gosanyugo』 or difficult to include even if it had been obtained. On the contrary, the fact that Yi Hwang’s <Dosan tewlve songs> is included but Yi Yi’s <Gosan ninse songs> is excluded seems to be a conflict with the above explained Noron’s position. <Dosan twelve songs> were published and circulated widely from the beginning, but <Gosan nine songs> were handed down as a part of a scroll not as a song in the time of Kim Chuntaek.
