The Jeonju Kim clan (Korean: 전주 김씨) is a Korean clan with the bon-gwan based in Jeonju. The founder of the clan is considered to be Kim T'ae-sŏ, a descendant of King Gyeongsun of Silla.[14][15] As of the South Korean census of 2015, there are currently 56,989 members of the Jeonju Kim clan.[16] The current North Korean Kim dynasty hails from this clan, as Kim Jong Un is the 34th generation descendant of Kim T'ae-sŏ.[17]

Kim T'ae-sŏ's eldest son, Kim Yak-sŏn, was the son-in-law of Ch'oe U, the military dictator of Goryeo. Kim Yak-sŏn's daughter, later known as Queen Dowager Sungyeong, became the wife of King Wonjong, and the mother of King Chungnyeol. Kim T'ae-so's third son, Kim Kyŏng-son, became a general who resisted the Mongol invasions, fighting in the Siege of Kuju.[18]
