Gangbyeon Chilwoo and Heo Gyun, who resisted class discrimination

The ringleaders of the Mungyeong Saejae incident were the 'Gangbyeon Chilwoo,' a group composed of the children of high-ranking officials. As their advancement to government positions was restricted due to their status as Seoeol, they demanded the abolition of discrimination but were ignored. Heo Gyun interacted with these Seoeol, sharing friendships that transcended social status, and expressed revolutionary ideas emphasizing the importance of recruiting talented individuals and the power of the people through his literary collection 'Seongsobubugo.' The broadcast will examine the ideal world they dreamed of through the tragic treason incident they experienced, the 'Gyechuk Oksa,' and Heo Gyun's actions.
