Template:Gija Joseon monarchs King Jun of Gojoseon was king of the Gija Joseon. He was succeeded by Wiman, whose usurpation of the throne began the Wiman Joseon period of Gojoseon. His personal name was Gijun (기준, 基準).
Overthrowing and exile into Mahan
Wiman entered Gojoseon as a refugee, and submitted to King Jun. Jun granted Wiman's request to serve as a commander of the western borders in Beonjoseon. However, sometime around 194 BC or 193 BC, Wiman led a revolt, and followed Jun down into Mahan territory, which encompassed the Korean peninsula.
Jun's surname is uncertain. While some people say Ki some people say Han. Cheongju Han clan claims to be direct descendants of his.
