After the death of King Heungdeok in 836, Huigang and his uncle (Heungdeok's younger cousin) Kim Gyunjeong struggled for power.[3] After Kim Myeong (who later became King Minae) killed Kim, Huigang rose to the throne.[4]
Huigang made Kim Myeong his Sangdaedeung,[5] but the next year Kim rebelled against him.[6] Huigang killed himself, and was buried on Sosan mountain in Gyeongju.[7]
