Ha Su-il (1553-1612) was a mid-Joseon scholar whose ancestral seat is Jinju; his courtesy name was Taeyi and pen name Songjeong. He lived at Sugok-ri in Jinju; some sources give his birth year as 1554.
He studied under Ha Hang, a disciple of Jo Sik, and is regarded as having inherited the core of Nammyeong learning and handed it on to Gyeomjae Ha Hong-do. He passed the civil examination and is said to have served as senior official in the Ministry of Personnel. He is recorded as joining the 1589 Gongokdae gathering.
He valued the self-cultivation practice of observing things to reflect on oneself, which is described as a motive for his writing. Songjeong Munjip and Samcheongdong Banghoeseo survive, and a burial ground of his family from his seventh-generation ancestor onward lies around Sugoksan.
