The Musin Revolt was a revolt against King Yeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty in Korea. The unsuccessful seventeen-day revolt took place in In December 1728. At that time, anonymous posters appeared in Jeonju and Namwon claiming that King Gyeongjong's death in early October 1724 was due to poisoning by the man who had become King Yeongjo. Two men, Sim Yu-hyeon and Bak Mi-gwi, stole gunpowder from a magazine with the intent of blowing up the Hong-hua and Don-hua gates. The original fomentation of the revolt was concentrated in Jeolla province.[1] "During three weeks of fighting the government lost control of thirteen county seats, and the rebels drew great support from people in Kyŏnggi, North Ch’ungch’ŏng, South Ch’ungch’ŏng and South Kyŏngsang Provinces."[2]
