Jumong is described as the son of Hae Mosu (解慕漱：the son of heaven) and Yuhwa (柳花：daughter of the river god Habaek (河伯)). Hae Mosu met Yuhwa by a river where she was bathing, but the river god disapproved of Hae Mosu, who returned to heaven. The river god chased Yuhwa away to Ubalsu(優渤水), where she met and became the concubine of King Geumwa of Dongbuyeo. Hae Mosu (hangul:해모수, hanja:解慕漱) was the legendary founder of Buyeo. ...

Yuwha was impregnated by sunlight and gave birth to an egg. Geumwa tried to destroy the egg, and tried to feed it to animals, who instead protected the egg from harm. Geumwa returned it to Yuhwa. From the egg hatched a baby boy, who was named Jumong, meaning "skilled archer."


Leaving Dongbuyeo

Jumong married Ye Soya, who was the daughter of a merchant, at the age of 20. Together they had a son. Jumong was known for his exceptional skill at archery. Eventually, Geumwa's sons became jealous of him, and Jumong was forced to leave Dongbuyeo. According to legend, as he fled on his horse, he approached a fast-running river. Turtles and creatures of the water rose up and formed a bridge. When he entered the land south of the river, he was greeted by Go Museo Dangun, who was the ruler of Jolbon buyeo, which was Bukbuyeo under a changed state-name. Go Museo knew that Jumong was not an ordinary man and gave his daughter Soseuno in marriage. After the death of his father-in-law in 58 BC, Jumong became the 7th Dangun of Bukbuyeo, and reunited all of the five tribes of Jolbon buyeo into one centralized kingdom.

The first King of Goguryeo

In 37 BC, Jumong established Goguryeo, and became its first Taewang ("Supreme King"). During that same year, King Songyang of Biryu surrendered to him after receiving assistance in defeating the Malgal tribe that had invaded. In 34 BC, Jolbon-Seong, Goguryeo's first capital city, was completed, along with the royal palace. Two years later, in 32 BC, Jumong sent his generals Oh-I, and Bu Bun-No to conquer Haeng-In Kingdom, which was south of the Taebaek mountains. Four years later, in 28 BC, Jumong sent General Bu Wi-Yeom to conquer the kingdom of Okjeo. During that same year, Jumong's mother, Yuhwa, died in the palace of Dongbuyeo, and was given the burial ceremony of a Royal Queen even though she was a Royal Wife. Jumong sent a messenger and numerous gifts to King Geumwa in gratitude of his generous act. In 19 BC, Jumong's first wife Ye Soya fled Dongbuyeo with their son, Yuri, and entered Goguryeo. Ye became the empress, causing tension as Jumong's second wife, Soseuno, feared for her sons' positions in the future of Goguryeo. Soseuno left Goguryeo with her two sons and some of the people and headed south into the Korean peninsula. Jumong named his first son Yuri as the crown prince and successor to the throne.
