The Pyongyang Kim clan (Korean: 평양김씨; Hanja: 平壤金氏; MR: Pyŏngyang Kim-ssi) is a Korean clan originating from what is now Pyongyang, North Korea. It is believed that Kim Dae Jin, a descendant of Gyeongsun of Silla, was its founder. However, the family records of the Joseon dynasty, cite Kim Yeo-ha, an early Joseon noble who served as governor of a county during the reign of King Taejong, to have founded the clan 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]
