Nangnang Kingdom

Nangnang Kingdom was a kingdom located in the northwestern part of the Korean Peninsula according to Samguk sagi. The kingdom's independence, however, is debated. According to the ancient Korean record of Samguk Sagi, the King of Nangnang named Choi Ri met the Prince Hodong of Goguryeo and let him marry his daughter, the Princess of Nakrang. When Prince Hodong asked the princess to break drums and horns in the Nangnang's armory to prevent the kingdom's guards from alerting the attack by Goguryeo, the princess followed Hodong's instructions, leading to Nangnang being conquered by Goguryeo.

Dispute regarding independence
The view regarding Nangnang's independence is disputed. While Chinese and Japanese scholars claim that the name Nangnang actually refers to the Lelang Commandery of China's Han dynasty and Choi Ri was Lelang's governor rather than a King, Korean scholars often view Nangnang as an independent kingdom. Kenji Takahisa (Professor of Korean history at Senshu University) mentions “In that theory, there were Nangnang Kingdom which founded by old Korean ethnic group in Pyongyang, not Lelang Commandery of Han. However, it is difficult to prove this theory because there are many tombs influenced by Han culture found in Pyongyang, while there were not related archaeological and historical resources related to Lelang Commandery in Liaoning area.” Shouei Mishina criticized the claim that Nangnang Kingdom was different from the Lelang Commandery and said that it ignored the situation of Lelang Commandery of the Eastern Han dynasty. == References ==
