When he lost the support of the people and his throne to his subordinates, he escaped to Mt. Myeongseongsan to fight against the army of Wang Guen. During the fight, as they became exhausted, he inevitably broke up his army in the mountain. There, admirer and devotees of Gungye became so sad and cried loudly. It is said that people could hear the sound of sad mourning from time to time ever since then. Some relics, such as the site of ancient castle where Gungye hid himself, still remain on the mountain.
