Jeong Mong-ju
Chŏng Mong-ju (Korean: 정몽주, Hanja: 鄭夢周, January 13, 1337 – May 4, 1392), also known by his art name P'oŭn (포은), was a Korean statesman, diplomat, philosopher, poet, calligrapher and reformist of the Goryeo Dynasty. He was a major figure of opposition to the transition from the Goryeo Dynasty (918–1392) to the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897). Being the last great personality from the late Goryeo period, exceptional in all aspects of academics, diplomacy, economics, military and politics, and trying to reform Goryeo while maintaining the declining kingdom, he opposed to the Goryeo general Yi Sŏng-gye (the first king of the future Joseon Dynasty) who was a radical revolutionary against the rotten Goryeo Dynasty.
