 The first historical document to mention the "jeogori" is "Cheongjeonui" (천전의, ) for Queen Wongyeong (원경왕후), which was a funeral ceremony for carrying the coffin out of the palace.The document written in 1420 during the second reign of Sejong the Great records "jeokgori" () and "danjeokgori" ().However, it is not clear whether the record is a hanja (Chinese character) transliteration of a Korean word or Mongolian influence.
