Jeongnyeolsa Shrine is dedicated to the five patriotic men from Naju including Kim Cheon-il, who raised a righteous army for the first time during Imjinwaerang (Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592).

It was first erected in the 39th year of King Seonjo’s reign under Woljeongbong Peak behind Naju High School. In the following year, the shrine was given the name Jeongnyeolsa and was relocated to a site near the former Naju silk yarn factory, after which it was relocated and repaired several times. It was relocated to the present-day location in 1984.

Jeongnyeolsabi is a monument that presents the records of the righteous army activities of Kim Cheon-il during Imjinwaeran. It was erected in 1626 and relocated a number of times before finally being placed on the site of Jeongnyeolsa.

The inscriptions on Jeongnyeolsabi provide details on the founding of Jeongnyeolsa and the commendable merits of Kim Cheon-il. Kim Cheon-il was at the forefront of the righteous army movement in Jeolla-do during Imjinwaerang, was an erudite person who is now hailed as one of the “five sages of Honam,” and was a well-respected government official who administered wisely.
