Gisaengs were originally artists. They originated from entertainers/dancers for the royal court for parties and important events.Only hundreds of years later when they were kicked out of the court did they practice some prostitution. But from my knowledge, even then the Gisaengs were able to refuse their customers. They were also smart. despite their low social rank, they were described as 'possessing the body of the lower class but the mind of the aristocrat.'

@Samcancer Kisaeng were lower class women artists (poets, musicians, singers and dancers especially) during Choseon. Some people are used to say they are "the korean prostitutes" for during japanese occupation they have been forced to turn this way, like the geisha actually were (both artists and prostitutes). However, they were knowledgeable and smart women, so we can guess they were the winning ones after all... :)
