It was managed as a historic site during the Japanese colonial period and was designated as a historic site in bulk in 1963. In 2011, it was separated from the Tomb of King Munseong and re-designated. King Jinji was the second son of King Jinheung, and his queen was Jido Buin. King Muyeol was the grandson of King Jinji. He appointed Geochilbu as Sangdeung, and in accordance with King Jinheung's wishes, he built Naeriseoiseong and repelled Baekje forces. He also sent envoys to the Jin Dynasty of China to establish diplomatic relations. In King Jinji's tomb, part of the stones estimated to be protective perimeter stones (hoseok) is exposed on the burial mound. Grass has been planted on the burial mound and its surroundings to prevent soil erosion. A stone marker and a cultural heritage information board are installed in front of the mound, and a stone wall measuring 32 meters in length has been constructed to the southeast of the mound. The surroundings are surrounded by pine trees.
