The legendary Dangun Wanggeom supposedly establishes the first Korean kingdom, Gojoseon, or Choson, in 2333 BCE.
The oldest existing record of this founding myth appears in the Samguk Yusa, a thirteenth-century collection of legends and stories.
A similar account is found in Jewang Ungi.
The date differs among historical sources, although all of them put it during the mythical Yao's reign (traditional dates: 2357 BCE – 2256 BCE) in China.
Samguk Yusa says Dangun ascended to the throne in the fiftieth year of Yao's reign, Sejong Sillok says the first year, and Dongguk Tonggam says the twenty-fifth year.
Some historians suggested that Gojoseon was founded around 3000 BCE.
