  1. ^ According to Donggukyeojiseungram, it was destroyed during Yuri of Silla. According to Samguk Yusa, Iseo people attack capital in 37 CE. However, in Yurye of Silla 14th(297 CE), Iseoguk appeared on the record again. Due to these errors, Korean academic community sees it as a record error.
  2. ^ This is recorded only in the Geodo(居道) biography of the Samguk Sagi. However, according to archaeology, the actual relics of Silla were not revealed until the early 5th century in Busan. Busan is presumed to be a Dongno(瀆盧國) of Byeonhan which still exist in late 3rd century. Due to these errors, Korean academic community does not understand the incident.
