Life & career

Mun Gong-yu (文公裕, 1088-1159) was a Goryeo civil official of the Nampyeong clan, courtesy name Hangjeok (亢迪) and posthumous name Gyeongjeong (敬靖). A son of Mun Ik, younger brother of Mun Gong-in and father of Mun Geuk-gyeom, he passed the Namseong exam in 1104 and the civil examination in 1112.

He went as envoy to the Jin in 1129, and in 1133 was demoted to magistrate of Chungju for remonstrating with King Injong, who had fallen under Myo-cheong's geomantic prophecies. After Myo-cheong's rebellion he returned to the center, serving as Jieosadaesa (1147) and military commissioner of the northwest (1148), then as minister of punishments and of war (1152), and rose to Dongji chumirwonsa and Pansamsasa in 1155. Clan tradition calls him the founder of Nampyeong County.
