Controversial origins

The origin of Dae Joyeong is disputed. Koreans, Japanese and traditional Chinese historians claim that the founder Dae Joyeong was of Goguryeo-kind. The Old Book of the Tang says that he was "a variant kind of Goguryeo" (高麗別種), while the New Book of the Tang states that he is "from the Sumo Mohe region of the former realm of Goguryeo." New Chinese historians argue that Sumo Mohe is not a region, but an ethnic non-Korean tribe.

Account describing origin as Korean

Old Book of the Tang described Dae Joyeong, the founder of Balhae, as a Goguryeo eccentric. He was the son of the Geolgeol Jung sang, a leader of Goguryeo remnants. Under the control of Tang, they were urged to move with all of the people to Yingzhou (modern-day Chaoyang). Balhae soon gained control of most of the former Goguryeo territory. The ruling class of Balhae consisted mostly of Goguryeo people.^{[citation needed]} Balhae declared itself the successor to Goguryeo, and sometimes called itself Goryeoguk (state of Goryeo).^{[citation needed]}
