King Taejo, also known as Yi Sŏnggye, was the founder of the Korean [[Joseon Dynasty]].
He was born the son of [[Yuan Dynasty]] officials of Korean ethnicity, and was raised in the Shuangcheng (K: ''Ssangseong'') commandery of the Yuan Empire, what is today North and South Hamgyeong province. There, he grew up in a fairly multi-cultural, multi-ethnic environment, surrounded by [[Jurchens]], [[Mongols]], [[Han Chinese]], and Koreans.
