About Dae Geonhwang

Lived 850 – 871 (aged 20–21).

Tae Kŏnhwang (; ) was the 12th king of Balhae. He was the younger brother of Tae Ijin, his predecessor on the throne.

Because none of Balhae's own records have survived, we know little of Geonhwang except that he sent a few missions to Japan and Tang China.
