Kin Genchin, also known by the Korean reading of his name, Kim Wonjin, was a 15th century resident of Hizen province known for his cross-border maritime activities.
He first appears in Korean records in 1423 as an envoy of the Korean court to Shimazu Hisatoyo, seeking the repatriation of Koreans who had been sold into servitude. Genchin successfully returned to Korea with nine Koreans returned by Hisatoyo.
