Cotterell, 2011, Imperial Crisis: The Failure of the Later Han. : "The earliest documented event in Korean history involves China.

Tennant, 1996, p. 18. : "Retaliation by the Han then brought in refugees from Yan, the most notable of whom was a war lord, Weiman ('Wiman'in Korean), who somewhere about 200 BC led his followers into the territory held by Choson."

Xu, 2007, p. 220. : "Here, Wiman was described as a "Gu Yanren 故燕人"or a person from former Yan. It is confusing because there were two Yans around this period. The first was the Yan state, which was one of the seven states during the Warring States period, and the second was the vassal state of Yan of the Han dynasty." Xu, Stella Yingzi (2007).
