Seong Hon
Seong Hon (1535 – 1598) was a Neo-Confucian scholar, politician, and educator of Korea's Joseon Dynasty. He was a close friend of the scholar Yi I(Yulgok) and an older contemporary of Yi Hwang (Toegye), leader of the country's "western faction" (seoin ì„œì¸, 西人) of the period.[1]
Seong Hon is often referred to by his stylized name of Ugye ("bull valley") and Mugam ("black stone"). He gained eminence not only as a scholar but as a revered politician and reformer, attaining the position of Fourth State Councillor/Vice Prime Minister (Jwachanseong 左贊æˆ) in the Joseon State Council (uijeongbu).[2]
