The brothers placed Kyŏn Hwŏn in prison, but he was able to escape. Kyŏn Hwŏn led the Goryeo army against them in 936 AD at present-day Seonsan in Gumi, destroying Kyŏn Sin-gŏm's army.{{Cite book|last=Korea National University of Education|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xV6jh7kA4Y4C&q=Gyeon+Singeom|title=Atlas of Korean History|publisher=Stallion Press|year=2008|isbn=978-981-08-0785-6|location=Singapore|pages=67–68|language=en}}{{Cite book|last1=Kang|first1=Chae-ŏn|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iB8R0oEH3kEC&dq=Gyeon+Singeom&pg=PA72|title=The Land of Scholars: Two Thousand Years of Korean Confucianism|last2=Kang|first2=Jae-eun|publisher=Homa & Sekey Books|year=2006|isbn=978-1-931907-37-8|location=Paramus, NJ|pages=72|language=en|translator-last=Lee|translator-first=Suzanne}}

King Taejo of Goryeo deemed that the plot was the work of Kyŏn Sin-gŏm's brothers, and granted Kyŏn Sin-gŏm a noble title. Accounts vary as to whether Yang-gŏm and Yong-gŏm were sent into exile or slain.
