Background
Yuri was the son of Jumong, the founder of Goguryeo. King Dongmyeong of Goguryeo (58 - 19 BCE r 37 – 19 BCE"Dongmyeongseongwang"(東明聖王 also known by his birth name Jumong, was the founding Monarch Goguryeo or Koguryo was an ancient Korean kingdom located in the northern and central parts of the Korean peninsula, southern Manchuria, and Yuri was raised somewhere else by his mother. Yuri's mother, Lady Ye, and Yuri went to Goguryeo in 19 BCE, to go see his father.
King Jumong proclaimed Yuri to be the Crown Prince of Goguryeo. Onjo and Biryu (the sons of Soseono) became insecure. Onjo (?-28 r 18 BC&ndashAD 28 was the founding monarch of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. Biryu (?&ndash18 BCE was the second son of Jumong and So Seo-no, and older brother of Onjo, the traditionally recognized founder of Baekje Soseono took her sons and traveled south to found the kingdom of Baekje, and the latter died at Michuhol. Baekje (18 BCE – 660 CE or Paekche, was a kingdom located in southwest Korea Incheon is a metropolitan city and a major seaport on the west coast of South Korea, near Seoul. Yuri became King upon Jumong's death later.
Reign
Yuri is described as a powerful and militarily successful king. He conquered a Xiongnu tribe in 9 BCE. The Xiongnu ( Turkish: Doğu Hun were a confederation of nomadic tribes from Central Asia with a ruling class of unknown origin and other subjugated tribes In 3 BCE, Yuri moved the capital from Jolbon Fortress to Gungnae Fortress. Gungnae-seong was the second capital city of the ancient Korean Kingdom of Goguryeo.
Goguryeo's neighbor, the Han dynasty of China, was overthrown by Wang Mang, who established the Xin Dynasty. The Han Dynasty ( 206 BC–220 AD followed the Qin Dynasty and preceded the Three Kingdoms in China. Wang Mang ( (45 BC&ndashOctober 6 23 Courtesy name Jujun (巨君 was a Han Dynasty official who seized the throne from the Liu family The Xin Dynasty ( was a Chinese Dynasty (although strictly speaking it had only one Emperor) which lasted from 9 - 23 AD Wang Mang sent a messenger to Goguryeo to ask for troops to assist in a conquest of the Xiongnu during 12 CE, the 31st year of his reign. The Xiongnu ( Turkish: Doğu Hun were a confederation of nomadic tribes from Central Asia with a ruling class of unknown origin and other subjugated tribes Yuri rejected the request and instead attacked Xin.
He had five sons and among them were Hae-Myung, and Muhyul. Hae-Myung was proclaimed the crown prince of Goguryeo after the death of Dojul, who was King Yuri's eldest son, but Yuri found him to be too reckless and disobedient. Yuri replaced him with the younger son Muhyul in 14 CE, his son with the daughter of Songyang. Muhyul ruled later as King Daemusin of Goguryeo. King Daemusin of Goguryeo (4-44 r 18-44 was the third ruler of Goguryeo, the northernmost of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.
A poem Yuri is said to have written for his favored concubine Chihui has survived to this day. It is titled Hwangjoga (황조가/黃鳥歌), meaning "Song of the Yellow Bird. "

Theories regarding King Yuri
Son of Jumong Theory
The traditional view of Yuri places him as the son of Jumong and Lady Ye. King Dongmyeong of Goguryeo (58 - 19 BCE r 37 – 19 BCE"Dongmyeongseongwang"(東明聖王 also known by his birth name Jumong, was the founding Monarch A traditional explanation to the different surnames of father and son is, Jumong's original surname was "Hae", but he changed it to "Go" when he established Goguryeo. Goguryeo or Koguryo was an ancient Korean kingdom located in the northern and central parts of the Korean peninsula, southern Manchuria, and Jumong's changing of his surname is mentioned in Samguk Sagi and Samguk Yusa. Samguk Sagi ( History of the Three Kingdoms) is a historical record of the Three Kingdoms of Korea: Goguryeo, Baekje and Samguk Yusa, or Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms, is a collection of legends folktales and historical accounts relating to the Three Kingdoms of Korea ( Goguryeo
Usurpation theory
In recent studies, some historians have made a series of observations regarding Goguryeo's establishment that led them to think of the possibility that Hae Yuri may not have been the son of Go Jumong, but an usurper. The observations that led to this conclusion were Jumong's early death, the difference in surnames, Yuri's harsh behavior toward some of Jumong's most prized subjects, and the differences in the styles of rule. Jumong died at the age of 40, which is quite early compared to that of some of his successors and predecessors. Also, the capital of Goguryeo is changed during the reign of Yuri. This could have been caused by constant rebellion by supporters of Jumong. Also, Goguryeo under Yuri does not display the strict expansionist policy that it displayed during the reign of Jumong. A final observation is the mentioning of a broken sword in the legend. Some historians have inferred that Yuri finding a piece of Jumong's broken sword and using it as a claim signifies the collapse of Jumong's regime, and Yuri's rise to the throne. Overall, the fact that Jumong died five months after the arrival of Yuri caused the suspicion of these select historians. However, this is merely a theory and no assumptions can be made.
