Published in 1970, this satiric poem by Kim Ji-ha is written in the format of pansori and criticizes “five bandits,” or the five enemies of the people: generals, chaebols, national assemblymen, bureaucrats, and government ministers. The title Five Bandits alludes to “the five traitors” who signed the Eulsa Treaty of 1905 and handed over the country to Japan. The poet was jailed for violation of the National Security Act for writing this poem.

1970년에 발표된 김지하 시인의 장편 풍자시다. 이야기조로 구성되어 있기 때문에 담시(譚詩)라고 부르기도 한다. 이 시는 당대 권력층의 부정과 비리를 을사오적에 빗대어 비판하는 내용으로 이루어져 있다. 시인은 1070년대의 오적으로 재벌, 국회위원, 고급관료, 장차관, 장성을 지목하였으며, 이 시로 인해 반공법 위반이라는 명목으로 투옥되었다.
