Guitar — South Korean. Jazz Blues / Soul Jazz.
Charlie Jung (정철원, Jeong Cheol-won; known in Korean press as 찰리 정 or 찰리정) is a guitarist born in 1977 in Cheongwon, North Chungcheong Province, who plays blues-rooted jazz; Korean newspapers call him a leading guitarist of the country's jazz and blues scene, and he has worked from Seoul since the late 2000s. His own releases and Discogs bill him as Charlie Jung. He told the press that he took the name in the United States because "Cheol-won" sounded to American ears like "Charlie", and it stuck. He has made records under his own name since 2008, plays in a Hammond organ trio, appears on several albums by the vocalist Woong San, and taught for many years at Howon University before leaving the post in 2025 to concentrate on playing.
