Yeom Jung-mo (October 6, 1862 – January 11, 1935) was a member of the Iljin Association during the Korean Empire and a member of the Central Committee of the Japanese Government-General of Joseon during the Japanese colonial period.

Life
According to the Maecheon Yarok, Yeom Jung-mo was originally a servant of Jeong Beom-jo, who served as a government official, but it is said that he went to the government post after Gabo Reform in 1894.

He participated in the cult of enlightenment and in the Korean Independence Association, which was formed in 1896, and was arrested in 1898 when King Gojong of the Korean Empire arrested those who participated in the Independence Association and the Manmin Community and ordered the dissolution.

At this time, among the imprisoned figures, Yoon Si-byeong and Yoo Hak-ju often gathered together to discuss the situation, and on August 18, 1904, the Yushinhoe was organized according to Song Byung-jun's private order. Two days later, the Yushinhoe changed its name to Iljinhoe on August 20, and Yoon Si-byeong, a former member of the Independent Association, was chairman and Yoo Hak-ju was vice chairman. Since then, Lee Yong-gu has been put to the forefront by absorbing the progressive circles within Cheondogyo led by Lee Yong-gu. Iljinhoe steadily engaged in activities to conclude the annexation treaty between Korea and Japan, and was disbanded after achieving its purpose in 1910.

Yeom Joong-mo received the most outstanding reward after Song Byung-jun, who was crowned as a noble of the Joseon Dynasty and was also a member of Iljinhoe. He served as a minister at the Central Council of the Korean Government-General, which was organized shortly after the annexation of Korea in 1910, and later served three consecutive terms in 1921, 1926, and 1931. At that time, the Central Committee was recognized as the most glorious place for Koreans to go up.
