Abstract
In terms of late Choson history, the eighteenth century was comparatively calm. A closer examination, however, reveals social and political tensions, chief among which was court factionalism. Choson factions were political associations that aimed to dominate the government and remove opponents from influence. Factions including the Noron, Namin and the two wings of the Soron—the extremist Chunso and moderate Wanso—clashed over King Sukchong’s succession. Faction members also sought greater political authority by infiltrating the military in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In the hundred-year period following the 1623 Injo Restoration, faction members made several attempts to overthrow Choson kings by mobilizing state military forces against the crown. It is within this political and military context that the Musin Rebellion occurred.
