Nangnang Kingdom (Korean: 낙랑국; Hanja: 樂浪國) was a kingdom located in the northwestern part of the Korean Peninsula according to Samguk Sagi. The kingdom's independence, however, is debated. According to the ancient Korean record of Samguk Sagi, the King of Nangnang named Choi Ri met the Prince Hodong of Goguryeo and let him marry his daughter, the Princess of Nakrang. When Prince Hodong asked the princess to break drums and horns in the Nangnang's armory to prevent the kingdom's guards from alerting the attack by Goguryeo, the princess followed Hodong's instructions, leading to Nangnang being conquered by Goguryeo.
