Seong Hon

Korean Confucianist (1535-1598) · Academics · Died at 63

Sŏng Hon was a Korean philosopher, poet, and politician during the Joseon period. He was a Neo-Confucianist scholar who was a close friend of the scholar Yi I (Yulgok) and an older contemporary of Yi Hwang (T'oegye), leader of the country's "western faction" of the period.

Seong Hon is read about 16 times a day, in 9 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 19 June 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
