* About Kim Satgat, Korea’s greatest pungryu poet *

Kim Satgat's real name is Byeong-yeon (炳淵) and his pen name is Nan-go (蘭皐). Born in Hoedong-myeon, Yangju-gun, Gyeonggi-do, on March 13, 1807 (7th year of King Sunjo's reign), Kim Sat-gat was 6 years old when his grandfather, Kim Ik-sun, served as Seoncheon-busa. After being dethroned for failing to suppress the Hong Gyeong-rae Rebellion and instead surrendering, he moved to Goksan, Hwanghae-do. After moving around Gapyeong, Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, and Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do, he settled in Samok-ri, Yeongwol, where he lived slash-and-burn.

The teacher, who grew up without knowing his grandfather's whereabouts, said at the Baekiljang held in Yeongwol-dongheon at the age of 20, "Praise the loyalty of Jeong, the governor of Gasan who died during the Hong Gyeong-rae Rebellion, and condemn Kim Ik-sun, who surrendered."通于天 won a prize in the examination titled Hyangsi (鄕試). When his mother, who heard this news, found out that Kim Ik-sun was his grandfather, he gave up his career as a government official, wearing a hat and living a wandering life because he could not look up at the sky because he had dishonored his ancestors. Kim Satgat wandered around the country and begged until he passed away at the age of 57. The place he visited in his later years with his exhausted body was Guam-ri, Dongbok-myeon, Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do. He was fascinated by the famous "Jeokbyeok (赤璧)" there and ended his life here without going anywhere else. Later, his second son moved him to his hometown in Yeongwol and was enshrined here at Kimsatgat Tomb.
