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.
