Governor of Seogyeong who led the northwest against the military regime in 1174
Vowing to overthrow the military regime of Jeong Jung-bu and Yi Ui-bang, he raised troops in Seogyeong and over forty towns of the northwest joined him. He held out against the government army for nearly two years but died when Seogyeong fell in 1176. It followed Kim Bo-dang’s revolt as a second rising against the military regime.
Against the military regime, Kim Bo-dang rose in the northeast in 1173 to restore Uijong, and Jo Wi-chong, governor of Seogyeong, rose in 1174; both were suppressed.
