You can parse custom_data with json.loads and then access the returned dict:

>>> import json
>>> json.loads(temp['custom_data'])['child_name']
'홍설'

Note that the example data you provided is not valid Python since Python uses False instead of false.

You can simply get the values of any dictionary using the keys. So lets take it step by step: first, lets get the dictionary - 

temp['custom_data']

will give you the child dictionary, then, in order to access the items of this child dict, you can use the child keys:

temp['custom_data']['child_name']
temp['custom_data']['uid']

etc.
