Kang Ho-gyeong (Korean강호경; Hanja康虎景) was the first and oldest ancestor of Taejo who established Goryeo dynasty. His name can be found in Korean historical literature such as Goryeosa and Pyeonnyeon-Tong-Rok (ko:편년통록). He is the founder of the Sinchon Kang Clan. While he is known to be the clan's founder, some regard the clan's semi-founder to be Kang Ji-yeon, the descendant of Kang Ho-gyeong, to be more of the clan's official progenitor.[1][2]
