Kim Gu, pen name Jipo, was a Goryeo official given the posthumous name Munjeong. He passed the examination around 1232, served as magistrate on Jeju and as secretary on a mission to Yuan, then long in the Hallimwon, rising to a chief-minister post for his skill in diplomatic writing. His Jipojip survives and he is said to have spent his last years in Buan. Sources differ on his age at passing and the number of volumes.
