Prince Hodong (Korean: 호동; Hanja: 好童; d. 11st months 32 AD (Lunar calendar)) was a Goguryeo Royal Prince as the son of King Daemusin, from Lady Hae.[1]
Outline
[edit]When Hodong, a child of Daemusin of Goguryeo, the third king of Goguryeo went Okjeo for hunting, he met Choi Ri (Korean: 최리; Hanja: 崔理) who was the king of Nakrang Kingdom. However, the kingdom's sovereignty is often disputed, which is often viewed as an independent kingdom by Korean scholars while Chinese and Japanese academic communities usually interpret the name Nakrang to be referring to Lelang Commandery.[2][3][4]
For Hodong, Princess of Nakrang destroyed the drum and Oliphant by a sword, after that Goguryeo attacked Nakrang Kingdom. Choi Ri could not be prepared for that attack because the drum and Oliphant were destroyed and he could not know Goguryeo’s invasion. He only knew that the drums and Oliphant were destroyed after Goguryeo’s aggression, but there’s nothing to do but surrender to Goguryeo. At that time, Choi Ri killed Princess of Nakrang who destroyed the drum and Oliphant.[5]
Hodong was a child of Hae clan (Korean: 해씨; Hanja: 解氏) who was a stepmother of Daemusin of Goguryeo, so, the empress of Goguryeo afraid if Hodong become a crown prince by pushing aside her own son. The empress gave a slanderous report that Hodong plans rebellion to Daemusin of Goguryeo.[6] After that Hodong committed suicide because if explain to that slander, he could leap to light of the empress’s iniquity and Daemusin of Goguryeo would get anxious about it.[5]
