Three offices of Joseon
Three Offices, or Samsa (삼사·三司), is a collective name for three government offices in Joseon Dynasty that functioned as major organ of press and provided checks and balance on the king and the officials. These were Office of Inspector General (Saheonbu·사헌부), Office of Censors (Saganwon·사간원), and Office of Special Advisors (Hongmungwan·홍문관).
While modeled after Chinese system of Censorate, they played much more prominent roles in Joseon government than their Chinese counterparts. Some historians credit Three Offices for absence of abuses by eunuchs that were prevalent throughout Chinese history.
The officials who served in these offices, called "daegan" (대간), tended to be younger and of lower rank compared to other offices such as Six Ministries but had strong academic reputation and enjoyed special privileges and great prestige. To be appointed, they went through more thorough review of character and family background. The children of officials who were impeached for corruption and children of concubines were excluded, and only those who passed literay gwageo examinations could become a daegan. As it attracted the elite of Joseon officialdom, Three Offices provided one of the fastest routes of promotion to top posts in the Royal Court and was almost a requirement to becoming a State Councillor.

Faithless And Godless
by: SamyazaTry to turn back but I hear it screaming.
So damn sick of old forgive and forget.
Have to remember it wasn't always like this.
Until you threw the stones at my head.
Hear the sound of the glass breaking.
Revolution spinning in my time of sin.
You try to save me.
Just fucking give it up.
Faithless and Godless.
Coursing in my blood.
You say this bottle is my destruction.
I'm dead to you for what I've become.
Repent and conform is what you're preaching.
Rather die then live another day chasing religion.
Faithless and Godless on my road to perdition.
