Jwauijeong [tɕwa ɰi tɕʌŋ] was the Second State Councillor[1][2] of "Uijeongbu" (State Council) which position was right below to Yeonguijeong during the Joseon Dynasty of Korea (1392 -1910).[3] Only one official was appointed to the position and was variously called such as Jwasang, Jwajeongseung, Jwagyu, Jwahap, or Jwadae[3]

Since the foundation, Joseon which succeeded to the system of the former state, Goryeo Dynasty (918 – 1392) began to adjust its government organization. In 1400, the second year after the second king of Joseon came to the throne, King Jeongjong revised "Dopyeonguisasa" (都評議事司; Privy Council[4]), highest organ in charge of the state affairs of Goryeo, to "Uijeongbu" and the post Jwauijeong was created along with Uuijeong (Third State Councillor[5]). The three posts were collectively referred to as "Samjeongseung" (Three top officials[6]) or "Samuijeong" (Three High Councilors).[3]
