The "gyobang" were the principal buildings associated with kisaeng during the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasties. They provided instruction in music and dance, and by the late Joseon dynasty they were also the administrative center of kisaeng society.

"Gyobang" first appear in historical records in the early 11th century, in the reign of King Hyeonjong. However, since that record describes the king releasing 1,000 kisaeng from the "gyobang", it is likely that they date to the 10th century and the formation of the kisaeng class.

When Korea came under Japanese rule in the early 20th century, the "gyobang" were replaced by "gwonbeon". No "gyobang" survive today, although a handful of pictorial depictions do.
