Song Sang-hyeon (Korean: 송상현; Hanja: 宋象賢; 1551 – 23 May 1592) was a civil minister, writer, and general during the Joseon dynasty.
When presented with demands of surrender, Song famously declined and was captured alive and subsequently killed.
At fifteen years old, he took Seungbosi, the preliminary Sungkyunkwan admission exam, and won first place.
It was during this time that Song became friends with eminent future Joseon scholar and politician Kim Jang-saeng.
After his death, the Chungnyeolsa Shrine was built in his memory on 1608 by Yun Hwon, the governor of Dongnae.
