Eight figures in Goyang – 8 saints in the history of Goyang (Joon Ki)

Bokjae Joon Ki

8 figures in Goyang indicate those eight great men that are commemorated in Munbongseowon in Gobong-dong.

They are Chugang Hyoon Nam, Sajae Junggook Kim, Bokjae Joon Ki, Chuman Jiwoon Chung, Haengchun Soon Min, Modang Leesang Hong, Suktan Sinu Lee, and Manhoi Yugyum Lee. They were loyal subjects that were much respected in Joseon Dynasty.

Due to their sacrifice, Goyang has become a city where people want to live at.

Bokjae Joon Ki (1492 – 1521): Joon Ki was a figure who made an effort to create a new society by eradicating old politics in Joseon Dynasty with Gwangjo Cho.

However, due to the Gimyosahwa, he was exiled and killed by others thereafter.

If he would have led the revolution in Joseon Dynasty with Gwangjo Cho, the history of Joseon would have been changed
