Jeon Hui-cheol (1425-1521) was an early-Joseon military official of Okcheon in the Jeonseo-gong branch, with the pen name Hyugye (休溪). He served as Sanggungun under Danjong, but when Sejo seized the throne he gave up office and withdrew to Yeongju in North Gyeongsang.
The Chungcheong Times says he observed three years of mourning after Danjong's death and is enshrined at Sungmojeon in Gongju. Some retellings speak of martyrdom connected with Danjong's restoration, but the sources checked here describe withdrawal and mourning.
When Danjong lost the throne to Prince Suyang, he gave up office and withdrew to the countryside. He is said to have kept three years of mourning after Danjong's death.
He is enshrined at Bangsan Seowon (Isan-myeon, Yeongju) with Jeon Myeong-ryong and others, and Chilseongnu and Hyugye Jaesa in Yeongju are memorial lodges for him. He is also said to be enshrined at Sungmojeon in Gongju.
Chilseongnu and Hyugye Jaesa in Yeongju are said to honor him.
He belongs to the same Jeonseo-gong branch as Jeon Myeong-ryong.
