Background

Dae Won-ui was a son of King Mu, the second ruler of Balhae, and the brother of the previous king, King Mun; when Mun's son Dae Goeng-rim died, Won-ui was chosen as the next king.[1][2]

Reign and death

However, upon ascending the throne the king showed a jealous and violent temper. In 793, he was slain by his ministers.[1] The son of Goeng-rim was chosen to replace him, becoming King Seong.[2]
