Dangun reigned over Gojoseon for fifteen hundred years from the capital at Asadal, governing with the divine authority inherited from his father Hwanung and grandfather Hwanin, before retiring to Asadal mountain to become a sansin.
Dangun founded Gojoseon, the first Korean kingdom, in the fiftieth year of Emperor Yao's reign (traditionally 2333 BCE), establishing the capital at Asadal and bringing civilization, law, and divine governance to the Korean people.
