Cheongpungjeong is said to have been a place frequently visited by scholars since the Goryeo Dynasty due to its beautiful landscape and clear breeze. This place was where Kim Okgyun, a key figure in the late Joseon Dynasty's Gapsin Coup, lived in seclusion after the coup failed. On a cliff overlooking winding water, there stands a pavilion called Cheongpungjeong, which holds stories of Kim Okgyun and Myeongwol. On December 4, 1884, Kim Okgyun, taking advantage of the opening banquet of the post office, killed leaders of the Sadaedang faction with Park Younghyo and Hong Yeongsik, organized a new government, and became Minister of Taxation and Head of the Hyesanggongguk Office, but the Qing army's intervention ended the coup in failure after three days. After the failed coup, Kim Okgyun retired to Cheongpungjeong. It is said that at this time, Kim came down to Cheongpungjeong with a gisaeng named Myeongwol. After the failure, Kim spent his days nurturing political ambitions while soothing his anguish there. One day, Myeongwol fell to her death into the water below the cliff. She left a short letter expressing that the years spent leisurely with Kim Okgyun were as happy as living a life of glory, but she felt deeply sorry for possibly hindering the great endeavors he held. Upon learning this in the morning, Kim Okgyun buried her and carved the words "Myeongwol-am" on the rock face below Cheongpungjeong.
