Thien is ultimately derived from Chan Zong 禪宗 (simplified, 禅宗), itself a derivative of the Sanskrit "Dhyāna".
Chan was gradually transmitted into Korea during the late Silla period (8th and 9th centuries) as Korean monks of predominantly Hwaeom 華嚴 and Consciousness-only 唯識 background began to travel to China to learn the newly developing tradition.
The first transmission of Chan into Korea is attributed to a monk named Peomnang 法朗, but he was soon followed by a throng of Seon students, who later returned to Korea to establish the "nine mountain" 九山 schools, with "nine mountains" becoming a nickname for Korean Seon which survives down to the present.

 AsiaMedia :: KOREA: Two Uri factions vie for floor leader
Lee, a seasoned bureaucrat and politician, is supported by the so-called "ex-dissidents" group centered on current floor leader Kim, as well as new assemblymen who fought for democracy in the 1980s.
Lee, unlike most of his more liberal and reform-minded colleagues, is reluctant to push for potentially abrasive topics in order not to trigger fierce resistance from the conservative opposition Grand National Party.
With the leadership and the ex-dissidents' groups clearly divided between Chun and Lee, the key to their fortunes are the other rival factions: President Roh's close aides, such as his policy adviser Moon Hee-sang, and Uri's most progressive group, headed by Rep. Rhyu Shi-min.
