List of Gija Joseon monarchs

Gija Joseon (12th century BC–2nd century BC) is the name of an ancient, semi-legendary Korean kingdom that is first attested in historical works of the 13th century AD and later.

The narrative of the Gojoseon dynasty that this list describes, has been challenged by scholars in the 20th century.

After the semi-legendary rulers of Dangun and Gija (Jizi in Chinese), Bu of Gojoseon and his son Jun of Gojoseon are attested as the first verified recorded local ruler of Korea.

[1] King Jun was overthrown however by Wiman of Gojoseon, a Chinese General from the Yan Kingdom (Han dynasty) who established short-lived dynasty.

Gija Joseon is not accepted by the Korean academic community, and this list is widely considered to be a fraud made in the 16th century.
