Kim Hŭmsun

Korean general (fl. 7th century) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kim Hŭmsun (Korean: 김흠순, born c. 599) was a general in 7th-century Silla.[1] He is said to have been the great-grandchild of King Guhae of Geumgwan Gaya, the last ruler of the Geumgwan Gaya state. This would have given him a very high position in Silla's bone rank system, which governed the political and military status that a person could attain. His elder brother, Kim Yu-sin, was known as one of the great general of Korean history, and he led the unification of the Korean peninsula.
