Poet-official from Seogyeong who backed Myocheong and was executed in Gaegyeong when the revolt broke out
Considered the finest poet of his day, he is best known for "Parting" (Songin), a poem of farewell. A native of Seogyeong, he joined Myocheong in invoking geomancy to urge moving the capital to Seogyeong and proclaiming an emperor. When Myocheong rebelled in 1135, Kim Bu-sik had him executed in Gaegyeong first.
Myocheong and Jeong Ji-sang of the Western Capital urged moving the capital there, proclaiming an emperor and attacking Jin; rebuffed, they rebelled in Seogyeong and were crushed within a year by government forces under Kim Bu-sik.
