The Yemaek or Yamaek are an ancient tribal group native to the northern Korean Peninsula and Manchuria and are commonly regarded as the ancestors of modern Koreans.[1][2][3][4] The Yemaek have ancestral ties to multiple kingdoms in Northeast Asia including Gojoseon, Buyeo, Goguryeo, and multiple tribes including Okjeo, Dongye, Yangmaek (양맥; 梁貊) and the Sosumaek (소수맥; 小水貊).[5]
As the first "Koreans", the Yemaek are considered responsible for the formation of Tan'gun's kingdom of Kochoson
The majority of the Kija Choson and Wiman Choson people were Yemaek, the ancestors of the Korean people
