Kyŏng Tae-sŭng
Goryeo Military dictator (1154–1183)
Kyŏng Tae-sŭng (Korean: 경대승; Hanja: 慶大升; 1154 – 4 August 1183) was the third of many military dictators who ruled during the late period of the Goryeo. Unlike his predecessors, General Kyŏng was determined to fix Goryeo's problems and help the people prosper. His popularity with the people aroused the jealousy of King Myeongjong of Goryeo.[citation needed] His military dictatorship over Goryeo signified a brief period of peace within the war-ravaged kingdom.[1]
