Charles Hyon Songmun

(Seoul, Korea Kusini, 1797 - Sai-Nam-Hte, 19 Septemba 1846) alikuwa katekista wa Korea aliyefanya safari ndefu tena ngumu ili kwenda na wamisionari katika nchi yake.

Baada ya kufungwa gerezani pamoja na Wakristo wengine wengi, hakuacha kuwahimiza wenzake kushika imani hadi alipokatwa kichwa kwa ajili ya Kristo https://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/93408.

Ni mmojawapo katika kundi kubwa la Wakristo wa Kanisa Katoliki nchini Korea waliouawa kwa ajili ya imani yao katika miaka 1791–1888. Wanakadiriwa kuwa 8,000 - 10,000. 

Yeye na wafiadini wenzake 102 walitangazwa na Papa Yohane Paulo II kuwa watakatifu tarehe 6 Mei 1984. 

Sikukuu ya hao Wafiadini wa Korea huadhimishwa tarehe 20 Septemba, ila ya kwake mwenyewe ni tarehe 19 SeptembaMartyrologium Romanum.
