Jenam Wang clan

The Jenam Wang clan (Korean: 제남 왕씨; Hanja: 濟南 王氏) is a Korean clan. Their Bon-gwan is in Jinan, Shandong, China, also known as Jenam in Korean. According to the census held in 2000, the population of Jinan Wang clan’s member was 792. Their founder was Wang Bong gang who was from Jinan, China. Shunzhi Emperor, of the Qing dynasty, detained Wang Bong gang in Shenyang in an attempt to collapse the Wang clan, which descended from King Wen of Zhou. After that, Wang Bong gang contrived to conquest the north area with Hyojong of Joseon, who was also captured in Shenyang by the Qing dynasty, specifically during the Qing invasion of Joseon. After Hyojong of Joseon was released, Wang Bong gang came back and was naturalized in Joseon with Hyojong of Joseon. On Hyojong of Joseon's way back to Joseon, he brought nine Chinese back that were against the Qing Dynasty because they had also been held captive.[1][2]
