Wan Gyeop (Korean: 왕겹; Hanja: 王唊) was one of the four members (No In, Han Eum, Sam and Wang Gyeop) who operated the government of Wiman Joseon. His position was a general.[1] Since Wang Gyeop had a family name, it is believed that he was an exile from China or person related to China. Just like his master Ugeo who was the last king of Wiman Joseon.[2][3] He was in charge of military affairs.
