Tobang

Dobang (都房), also written as Tobang, was a Goryeo Dynasty private military unit that originated as the personal body guard for Kyong Tae-sung.

After the military revolt of the generals in 1170 during the reign of King Uijong of Goryeo, a series of generals culminating in the Ch'oe military dictators, held the real power in Goryeo.

Kyong Tae-sung was the next to last general to seize power before the Choe family gained and consolidated military control for a longer period of time.

Noting the great personal risk that had plagued the previous generals, Kyong Tae-sung organized a personal bodyguard of 100 troops, known as the Dobang, which attended him at all times.

The Dobang disbanded upon Kyong Tae-sung's death but was reconstituted by Ch'oe Ch'ung-hŏn shortly after he came to power.
