According to the ancient Korean record of Samguk Sagi, Choi Ri (Korean: 최리; Hanja: 崔理) was the king of Nakrang Kingdom. However, the kingdom's sovereignty is disputed along with Choi Ri's title. Many Korean scholars view Nakrang as an independent kingdom and Choi Ri as Nakrang's king, but Chinese and Japanese scholars usually claim that the name Nakrang referred to Lelang Commandery and Choi Ri was a Chinese governor of the commandery.[1][2][3]
