Biography edit
Kang was born was the son of Kang Sŏ (강서; 康庶), the Lord of Sangsan. Kang passed the civil service examination during the reign of King Chunghye of Goryeo. He would later become a Hallim Academican (한림학사; 翰林學士; Hallim haksa), as well as the deputy minister of personnel (이부시랑; 吏部侍郎; ibu sirang).[1] One of the reason why Taejo of Joseon married his daughter was to marry into a prominent clan from the capital region since Taejo of Joseon was from a clan originally from the borderlands.[3][4]
