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.

gollark: In the last few years, instead of the reasonably functional setup where people's stuff was stored on a big on-premise fileserver, someone clearly decided to cloud™, and now everyone's files are on OneDrive and login takes several minutes and often breaks randomly.
gollark: The policy on using computers which people are meant to sign forbids you from "creating, running, downloading or [some other verb] executable files (programs)".
