He chose the era name Jungheung ({{Korean|hangul=중흥|hanja=中興|labels=no}}). King Seong was a very physically weak person, and lived for a few months after his rise to the throne. The most notable accomplishment that was done during his reign was the moving of the capital to Sanggyeong.
He didn't marry or have any children. After his death in 794, his uncle, Gang of Balhae, became the next King of Balhae.
