Choe Sihyeong (Korean: 최시형) (1827–1898) original name Choe Gyeongsang, was the second leader of the Donghak Peasant Movement during the Joseon Dynasty and Korean Empire era. He succeeded Choe Je-u after the latter's execution by Joseon authorities in 1864. He was born in Gyeongju as a member of the local Choe clan. In Jeonju, Jeolla, he and his followers attempted to revolt against the Joseon authorities in the aftermath of the Donghak Peasant Revolution, but he was caught by the authorities and executed by firing squad.[1][2][3][4][5]
