Saheonbu (Korean: 사헌부; Hanja: 司憲府, lit. 'Office of the Inspector-General'[1]) administered inspections during Goryeo and Joseon dynasty in Korea. This branch of government inspected Hanyang, the capital, and periphery. It was also responsible for licensing officials, impeachment and legal inquiries, which also extended to the control of King's relatives. An important duty was to remonstrate with the king.[2]
Since this office had judicial responsibility for officials and the subjects, the ethos was strict.
