Hong Hyeong (洪泂, 1446 ~ November 20, 15001) was a civil official of Joseon. His courtesy name was Jayeon (子淵)1, and his family seat was Nanyang (南陽). He was the father of Hong Eon-pil (洪彦弼).
Life
In 1469 (the first year of King Yejong), he passed the Saemasi (司馬試) examination, and in 1477 (the 8th year of King Seongjong) he passed the civil service examination.1
He afterwards served as Reviewer (檢閱), Royal Secretary (注書), Inspector (監察), Junior Secretary of the Board of Rites (禮曹佐郞), and Lecturer of the Office of Royal Editing (校書館校理), and then was sent out as Assistant Magistrate of Gyeongwon (慶源府判官).
On November 4, 1489 (the 20th year of King Seongjong), he was appointed Chief Censor (掌令). On November 24, together with Grand Remonstrator (大司諫) Yi Pyeong (李枰), he requested the dismissal of Kim Geukgeom (金克儉), Governor of Hwanghae Province (黃海道都觀察使), among other measures, and as a result Kim Geukgeom was removed from office.
The following year, together with Junior Censor (持平) Yi Se-yeong (李世英), he submitted a memorial (箚子) requesting the dismissal of Minister of Personnel (吏曹判書) Jeong Munhyeong (鄭文炯), but he did not achieve his aim.
In February 1494 (the 25th year of King Seongjong), he was appointed Remonstrator (司諫). In May, over the question of revising the office of Yun Ho (尹壕), who had been appointed Right State Councillor (右議政), he debated with the King, together with Minister of Justice (大司憲) Heo Chim (許琛) and others, but did not achieve his aim.
In November, he repeatedly requested four times that Yi Cheolgyeon (李鐵堅), Hong Sang (洪常), Han Chirye (韓致禮), and others, who had committed adultery with another man's concubine, be punished according to law, but did not achieve his aim.2
