Kim Al-chi

Kim Al-chi (Korean: 김알지; Hanja: 金閼智; unknown–?), was a historical figure in Korean history. His descendants formed the Kim royal clan of Silla, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.

His legendary birth is said to have occurred during the reign of Silla's fourth ruler, King Talhae of Silla. Though Kim Al-chi never ruled as the King of Silla, his descendants did. Today, 1.7 million South Koreans are in the Gyeongju Kim clan, who trace their genealogy to Kim Al-chi.
