Template:Infobox Chinese/HeaderTemplate:Infobox Chinese/KoreanTemplate:Infobox Chinese/KoreanTemplate:Infobox Chinese/FooterDae Jo-yeong (died 719), also known in Korea as King Go (Hangul: 고왕, Traditional Chinese: 高王), established the state of Balhae, reigning from 699 to 719. His origin is heavily claimed by Chinese historians as of Mohe tribe decent. However South korean historians asserted that it was proven that he was of Goguryeo royal decent. Since royal families in both China and Korea at the time had many members, different last names were distributed so that hundreds of people were not directly recognized as heirs to the throne or a part of the 'Go' royal family name. Go and Dae, both meaning high and great in definition signifies Dae Jo Young's last name to be one of the branches of the 'Go' family line.

Background and Early life
Dae Jo-yeong was the first son of general Dae Jung-sang (Hangul: 대중상, Traditional Chinese: 大仲象) or Qiqi Zhongxiang (Chinese: 乞乞仲象 pinyin: Qǐqǐ Zhòngxiàng) of Goguryeo, and was born in Goguryeo.
After the fall of Goguryeo to the Silla-Tang armies, Dae Jung-sang remained in a part of Goguryeo which had not been attacked during the 3rd Goguryeo-Tang war. After, Dae Jung-sang was against the Tang. In the confusion of the Khitan uprising led by Li Jinzhong against the Tang (Zhou) in May 696, Dae Jung-sang led at least 8,000 Goguryeo remnants peoples, the Sumo Mohe people, to Dongmo mountain. And the Baishan Mohe leader Geolsa Biu (Hangul: 걸사비우, Traditional Chinese: 乞四比羽 pinyin: Qǐsì bǐyǔ), made an alliance and sought independence.
Establishing Balhae
The Tang killed Geolsa Biu, and Dae Jung-sang also died. Dae Jo-yeong integrated the armies of Goguryeo people and some Malgal tribes and resisted Tang's attack. His overwhelming victory over the Tang at the Battle of Cheonmun-ryeong (Hangul: 천문령, Traditional Chinese: 天門嶺) enabled him to continue on his father's empire. He claimed himself the King of Jin in 698, and established 'Jin state' (Hangul: 진국, Traditional Chinese: 辰國). He put his capital at Dongmo Mountain in the south of today's Jilin province, and built Dongmo mountain fortress, which was to become Jin's capital.
He attempted to expand his influence in international politics involving the Tang, the Göktürks, the Khitan, Silla and some independent Mohe tribes. At first he dispatched an envoy to the Göktürks. Then he reconciled himself with the Tang when Emperor Zhongzong was restored to the throne.
In 712, he renamed his empire, Balhae. In 713 he was given the titular title of 'Prefecture King of Balhae' by Emperor Xuanzong. Upon reaching a period of rest within the empire, King Go made it clear that Silla was not to be dealt with in a peaceful stance because they were the ones who received the help of the Tang to conquer Goguryeo, which was the predecessor state to Balhae. This aggressive stance towards Silla was continued on by his son and successor King Mu of Balhae.
Death and Succession
Dae Jo-yeong died in 719, and his son Dae Muye assumed the throne. Dae Jo-yeong was given the posthumous name 'King Go.'
Family
Dae Jo-yeong had at least two wives. His only known sons through his first wife were Dae Muye, and Dae Munye. The sons through his other wife or wives were Dae Chwi-jin, Dae Ho-bang, and Dae Nang-a. The only concrete fact regarding Dae Jo-yeong's sons was that Dae Muye was the firstborn and oldest among them.And he had younger brother, Dae Ya-Bal.
Legacy
After the fall of Balhae, the last prince led fewer the Balhae aristocracy into Goryeo, and the most people of Balhae was forced to moved to the Liao Dynasty. Dae Jo-yeong's descendants in Shandong province of China who bear the surname 'Da' (大), in Korea, the surname is 'Tae'(태).
In South Korea, a television drama on KBS1 was launched since September 2006 in his honor. Roughly 30% (based on 2007 survey) of the Korean viewers enjoyed this programme.
Republic of Korea Navy
Dae Jo-yeong built a vast army and a powerful navy just as the Taewangs of Goguryeo had done.
The third Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin class destroyer commissioned by the Republic of Korea Navy is named Dae Jo-yeong. KDX-II class destroyers are named after significant figures in Korean history such as admiral Yi Sun-sin.
