Kang Hogyŏng

Kang Hogyŏng (Korean: 강호경; Hanja: 康虎景) was the first and oldest ancestor of Taejo who established Goryeo dynasty. His name can be found in Korean historical literature such as Goryeosa and Pyeonnyeon-Tong-Rok (ko:편년통록). He is the founder of the Sinch'ŏn Kang clan. While he is known to be the clan's founder, some regard the clan's semi-founder to be Kang Chiyŏn, the descendant of Kang Hogyŏng, to be more of the clan's official progenitor.^[1][2]
