In his old days, he followed his oldest son to Hwalgi village, Samcheok until his death in 1231 (18th regal year of King Gojong). He was buried in Jungyeong Tomb (준경묘, 濬慶墓 or 준경릉, 濬慶陵), Hwalgi-ri; while his wife was buried in Yeonggyeong Tomb (영경묘; 永慶墓), Dongsan-ri, which both are located at Miro-myeon, Samcheok-si, Gangwon Province.[5][6][7] On 16 April 1899 (3rd years reign of Emperor Gwangmu), the emperor placed a memorial tablet and tombstones on both graveyards.[8][9]
