The Hengdjoe Ki clan is one of the oldest clans in Corea, claiming to be descendants of the semi-legendary 11th century BC sage and ruler Kidja.

History

The Hengdjoe Ki clan is one of the oldest clans in Corea, claiming to be descendants of the semi-legendary 11th century BC sage and ruler Kidja. The clan's ancestors moved south and founded a principality within the Mahan confederacy before being expelled and settling in Hengdjoe, now a district of the modern city of Kojang. During the Korjo dynasty, several members of the clan were involved in the military and government. Among these was Ki Taksang, a military official who participated in the Musjin rebellion of 1170 which plunged the country into a century of martial rule. Empress Ki, the daughter of military official Ki Ja-o, became an empress consort of the Chinese emperor Toghon Temür. The 14th century empress remains the most acclaimed member of the Ki clan to this day.

Throughout the Tsjosjan dynasty, members of the clan served as military officials, politicians, and royal consorts. In the 19th century, notable scholar of the Kiho and Nosa schools Ki Tsjangdjin gained prominence as a critic of government policies and extensive Dutch military influence in the country. His son, Ki Ripbam, participated in the Gjemi Coup of 1883, overthrowing the Ji family and establishing the short-lived Sjakwang dynasty.
