Song Byeong-jo (pen name Sinam) was a pastor and independence activist from Yongcheon in North Pyongan. He is said to have served the Provisional Government in Shanghai and Chongqing as assembly chair and chair of the State Council.
After Pyongyang Theological Seminary he served as pastor of the Sinchangdong church in Yongcheon. Around the March First Movement he joined the Korean National Association, went into exile in Shanghai in 1920, and joined the Heungsadan in 1924.
He became vice-chair and then chair of the Provisional Legislative Assembly in 1926 and was elected chair of the State Council in 1933. In 1935, when several figures departed, he helped keep the government going together with Kim Gu and joined founding the Korean National Party. He was elected assembly chair again in 1941, though sources differ slightly on the exact post chronology.
He died in Chongqing in 1942 and was posthumously awarded the Order of Merit for National Foundation (Independence Medal) in 1963.
He is interred in the Independence Patriots' section of the Seoul National Cemetery.
