Nangnang Kingdom
Theorized kingdom in northwest Korea / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nakrang Kingdom (Korean: 낙랑국; Hanja: 樂浪國) was a kingdom located in the northwestern part of the Korean Peninsula according to Samguk Sagi. The kingdom's independence, however, is debated.[1] According to the ancient Korean record of Samguk Sagi, the King of Nakrang 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 Nakrang's armory to prevent the kingdom's guards from alerting the attack by Goguryeo, the princess followed Hodong's instructions, leading to Nakrang being conquered by Goguryeo.[2]
