List of legendary monarchs of Korea

The legendary states of Hwanguk and Baedalguk preceded Gojoseon, and the rulers are as follows.^[1]

Gojoseon

Gojoseon (c. 2333 – 108 BCE) was one of the three Korean kingdoms. First was "Hwan-guk" and second was "Baedal". It is said to have been founded by Dangun in 2333 BCE, and was the successor state to Baedal. Bronze age archeological evidence of Gojoseon culture is found in northern Korea and southern Manchuria. Earliest contemporary mention of Gojoseon is found in Chinese records of the 7th century BCE. By the 4th century BCE, various historical and archeological evidence prove Gojoseon was a flourishing state and a self-declared kingdom.

Its rulers used the title of "Tanje", which is translated into Birch Emperor.

"Samguk Yusa" described Dangun as a man. The 'Annals of the Danguns' are recorded in "Gyuwon Sahwa" (1675), which is described by its author as a collection of legendary rulers.
