<p><a href="/facts/Wiman/VLmKJtyo">Wiman</a> entered Gojoseon as a refugee, and submitted to King Jun. Jun granted Wiman's request to serve as a commander of the western borders. However, sometime around 194 BC or 193 BC, Wiman led a revolt, and followed Jun down into <a href="/facts/Mahan_confederacy/vTpxSQq3">Mahan</a> territory, which was situated in the southern part of the <a href="/facts/Korea/cj2kDBzc">Korean Peninsula</a>.
