Life & career

Yun Jip (尹集) was one of the Three Scholars (Samhaksa) executed for steadfastly opposing peace with the Qing during the Manchu invasion of 1636. His courtesy name was Seongbaek, his pen names Imgye and Gosan, and his posthumous title Chungjeong. According to Wikipedia he was born on 16 May 1606 and executed at Shenyang on 13 May 1637, aged 30.

He became a licentiate in 1627 and passed the special civil examination in 1631. After serving in the Office of Special Advisors as a lecturer and compiler, and as a section chief in the Ministry of Personnel, he strongly opposed the humiliating peace as a compiler in 1636. After King Injo's surrender the next year he was taken to Shenyang, tortured, and executed together with Oh Dal-je and Hong Ik-han.

He was posthumously honored as Chief State Councillor. Rites for the Three Scholars continue at Hyeonjeolsa on Namhansanseong, and a cenotaph tomb of Yun Jip is said to stand in Namhansanseong-myeon, Gwangju, Gyeonggi.
