King Muryeong of Baekje

King Muryeong (무령왕; 武寧王; 462-523 r. 501-523) was the twenty-fifth king of Baekje during the period of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.

He was born in a small island of Japan while her mother was being sent to Japan. He was called Semakishi (嶋君) and King Shima (斯麻王) in Japanese books because he was born in an island. His father differs among historical sources.

He was important for stabilizing his realm so that it could experience a renaissance under his successor, King Seong. In 1971, Munyeong's tomb was excavated in the Korean city of Gongju.
