[edit] Prince of Bukbuyeo and ruler of Gori-guk
Go Jin served as a general of Bukbuyeo under the reign of the first four Danguns of Bukbuyeo. Under his grandnephew Go Uru of Buyeo, he was given the honor of becoming ruler of Gori-guk, which was located in the western Amrok River region. At an advanced age, Go Jin ruled Gori-guk and attacked Wiman Joseon and its ruler Ugeo until he died. Go Jin was succeeded by his son and grandson after him.
[edit] Legacy
Go Jin's great-grandson, Jumong, eventually becomes the 7th Dangun of Bukbuyeo and the founder of Goguryeo, which can be considered a successor-state to Gori-guk as well.
