The Pyongyang Kim clan (Korean: 평양 김씨; Hanja: 平壤金氏) is a Korean clan originating from what is now Pyongyang, North Korea. It is believed that Kim Taejin (김대진; 金大振), a descendant of Gyeongsun of Silla, was its founder. However, the family records of the Joseon dynasty, cite Kim Yŏha (김여하; 金慮遐), an early Joseon noble who served as governor of a county during the reign of King Taejong, as the clan's founder, allegedly having done so during the early 15th century.[1][2] The most-recent record of the clan dates back to the 1930s and states that modern members of the clan live around Chorwon County, Kangwon-do, North Korea.[3][unreliable source]
