Seonsan

Sŏnsan lies in the Naktong River country of western Kyŏngsang. Its scholars established Kŭmo Sŏwŏn to honour Kil Chae, remembered for his loyalty at the end of the Koryŏ dynasty. Local Confucians petitioned the magistrate for an academy in 1567, and its shrine was completed in 1572. Other scholars were later commemorated there alongside Kil Chae, making it a centre of local learning.
