[KS] More on HKT

What is the evidence that Hong Kiltong-jeon
was originally written in han'gul rather
than being written in Hanmun in the 17th century
and translated into han'gul a century or so
later? As far as I know, Ho Kyun wrote
nothing else in han'gul, so why would
the HKT story be any different? Also,
Ho Kyun doesn't show much evidence
in his political career of being much
of a radical, so what justification
is there for a radical interpretation
of his story?

A question for Mickey Hong: do you have
the sillok citation for Hong Kil-tong?
I am curious to know what the sillok
says about him.
