Jo Ji-seo (趙之瑞, 1454 – 1504) was a Joseon scholar-official whose pen name was Jijok (知足) and whose family seat was Imcheon.
He passed the civil service examination in 1474 and entered government service. Later, Seongjong appointed him, together with Heo Chim, as a tutor to Yeonsangun. However, unlike Heo Chim, who treated Yeonsangun leniently, Jo Ji-seo dealt with him strictly, which earned the prince's resentment. He was eventually executed during the Gabo Purge. His official rank had reached Magistrate of Changwon in 1495.
Gabo Purge
During the Gabo Purge, on the 16th day of the intercalary fourth month of the lunar calendar, he died during interrogation at the DangjikchEong (duty office). After his head was cut off, a placard was attached reading "He acted superior on his own and insulted the king," and his head was displayed publicly. He was later subjected to neungji (execution by dismemberment), his corpse was circulated and displayed throughout the Eight Provinces, and his property was confiscated.
