Kyon Sin-gom
Kyŏn Sin-gŏm (Korean: 견신검; Hanja: 甄神劍; ? – September 936, r. 15 November 935 – 936) was the second and final king of Later Baekje, one of the Later Three Kingdoms of Korea. He came to the throne after conspiring with his two brothers, Yang-gŏm and Yong-gŏm, to overthrow their father Kyŏn Hwŏn and kill the anointed heir, their younger half-brother Kŭm-gang.

The brothers placed Kyon Hwon in prison, but he was able to escape. Kyon Hwon led the Goryeo army against them in 936 AD at present-day Seonsan in Gumi city, destroying Kyon Sin-gom's army.
King Taejo of Goryeo deemed that the plot was the work of Kyon Sin-gom's brothers, and granted Kyon Sin-gom a noble title. Accounts vary as to whether Yanggom and Yonggom were sent into exile or slain.
