Gyebaek, or Kyebaek (died 20 August 660[1]), was a general in the ancient Korean kingdom of Baekje during the early to mid-7th century.
In 660, Baekje was invaded by a force of 50,000 from Silla, supported by 144,000 Tang soldiers.
Before entering the battlefield, Gyebaek reportedly killed his wife and children to prevent them from being enslaved if he lost.
As Neo-Confucian philosophy became more influential in the later Korean Dynasties, Gyebaek was recognized by historians and scholars as exemplifying the Confucian ideals of patriotism and devotion to his king, Uija, and praised as such.
