Hwang Chi-sin (1397-1484) was an early Joseon civil official of the Jangsu Hwang clan and the eldest son of the chief minister Hwang Hui. His childhood name was Dong (董), courtesy name Maengchung, and posthumous title Hoan.
Entering office through hereditary appointment, he served as Inspector and Vice Minister posts, became Dongbu Seungji in 1434, served as Magistrate of Hanseong and Governor of Gyeonggi, and reached Minister of Taxation in 1444. He went to Ming China as envoy in 1454, later served as Pan-jungchubu-sa, and is said to have been posthumously made Right State Councillor.
Entering office by hereditary appointment, he rose through royal secretary and vice-minister posts to Minister of Taxation under Sejong. He became Pan-jungchubu-sa in 1461 but is said to have been impeached and dismissed on a charge of seizing others' slaves, and was reinstated as Jungchubu Dongji-sa in 1466. Alongside his father Hwang Hui's fame, his career record includes such criticism.
