It is said that Jeon Bong-Jun(全琫準), Kim Gae-Nam(金開南), Son Hwa-Jung(孫華仲), Kim Deok-Myeong(金德明) and Choi Gyeong-Seon(崔景善) who were major figures of The Dong-hak Peasant’s revolution are ‘Five Leaders.’ Four people, excluding Kim Gae-nam, were tried by the judical procedures, at least formally, left records of interrogation or judgment, and hanged in Seoul. They had the opportunity to proudly revealed the purpose and meaning of the revolution of Donghak Peasants which they took the lead. However, Kim Gae-nam did not even have the chance to express his will, as well as the judical procedures. Jeonragamsa(全羅監司) summarily executed Kim Gae-nam for the reason of ‘Escape and Rescue’ and clearly wrote down the place of execution as “In the 20th of the 24 periods of the day, on the third of this month(December), gathered soldiers and people in Segyojang(西敎場), decapitate and expose his head, put it in a chest and sent it to Dosunmuyeong(都巡撫營) …” Thus, it shows the justification for Kim Gae-nam‘s summary execution, the place and time of it, disposal of his body, and so on. However, contrary to ‘Escape and Rescue’, it is highly possible that the connection with DaewonGun(大院君) could be a decisive reason. Kim Gae-nam caused a second uprising to drive out the Japanese army and seize power. But there was communion with DaewonGun in his decision for uprising, which was an open secret at that time. Prejudication, that Kim Gae-nam who tried to reveal this publicly could cause another trouble if left untouched, made him be executed in haste. It was a very simple place to identify right away where Kim Gae-nam died for the country. Nevertheless, the background of 동학농민혁명 지도자 김개남의 처형 경위와 순국 터⋅157 the rise of Chorokbawwi(초록바위) view(theory) which has never been suggested any evidence was because of the name of the place that are not confirmed. In other words, this was a consequence of overlooking ‘Dongsoyimyeong(同所異名)’, which means the same place can be called differently such as Seokyojang(西敎場), Jangdae(將臺), under the Kongbukru(拱北 樓), and Supjeongi(숲정이). Therefore, the place of Kim Gae-nam’s death for the country is Supjeongi that is now called a representative Catholic Martyrs’ Site, after Seokyojang was closed and neglected, as well as Seokyojang, Jangdae, under the Kongbukru in the record of 1894.
