Kim Tong-jeong

Sambyeolcho leader who fought on from Jeju after Jindo fell

After Bae Jung-son was killed on Jindo in 1271, he led the remaining Sambyeolcho to Jeju and built the fortress of Hangpaduri. They raided along the southern coast, but when the Goryeo-Mongol forces took Jeju in 1273 he took his own life. The Yuan then set up the Tamna Commandery on Jeju.
