Yŏm Chang (Korean: 염장; Hanja: 閻長, ? - ?), also mentioned as Yŏm Mun, was a Silla general who is best known for assassinating Jang Bogo.[1] Yŏm had been a subordinate of Jang Bogo, but their relationship apparently deteriorated as he was once punished by Jang Bogo for having been personally engaged in slave trade.[citation needed]
Eventually, Yŏm Chang, under the direction of Kim Yang[citation needed], assassinated Jang Bogo.[2]
