The earliest mention of Jumong is in the 4th-century [[Gwanggaeto Stele]]. Jumong is the modern Korean transcription of the [[hanja]] {{linktext|朱蒙}} ''Jumong'', {{linktext|鄒牟}} ''Chumo'', or {{linktext|仲牟}} ''Jungmo''.

The Stele states that Jumong was the first king and ancestor of Goguryeo and that he was the son of the prince of Buyeo and daughter of [[Habaek]] ({{Korean|하백|河伯}}), the god of the [[Amnok River]] or, according to an alternative interpretation, the sun god Haebak ({{Korean|해밝}}).<ref name="Sources of Korean Tradition">{{cite book|last1=De Bary|first1=Theodore|last2=Peter H.|first2=Lee|title=Sources of Korean Tradition|publisher=Columbia University Press|isbn=978-0231120319|pages=24–25|url={{GBurl|id=kWYCxE3plWkC|p=24}}|year=1997}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=Doosan Encyclopedia 유화부인 柳花夫人|publisher=[[Doosan Encyclopedia]]|url=http://terms.naver.com/entry.nhn?docId=1185444&mobile&cid=40942&categoryId=33375}}</ref><ref name="Doosan Encyclopedia">{{Cite book|title=Doosan Encyclopedia 하백 河伯|publisher=[[Doosan Encyclopedia]]|url=http://terms.naver.com/entry.nhn?docId=1160526&cid=40942&categoryId=31541&mobile}}</ref><ref name="Encyclopedia of Korean Culture">{{Cite book|title=Encyclopedia of Korean Culture 하백 河伯|publisher=[[Encyclopedia of Korean Culture]]|url=http://terms.naver.com/entry.nhn?docId=531903&cid=46620&categoryId=46620&mobile}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=조현설|script-title=ko:유화부인|url=http://folkency.nfm.go.kr/kr/topic/%EC%9C%A0%ED%99%94%EB%B6%80%EC%9D%B8/5387|website=[[Encyclopedia of Korean Folk Culture]]|publisher=[[National Folk Museum of Korea]]|access-date=30 April 2018}}</ref> The ''[[Samguk sagi]]'' and ''[[Samguk yusa]]'' paint additional detail and names Jumong's mother as [[Lady Yuhwa|Yuhwa]] ({{Korean|유화|柳花}}).<ref name="Sources of Korean Tradition"/><ref name="Doosan Encyclopedia"/><ref name="Encyclopedia of Korean Culture"/> Jumong's biological father was said to be a man named [[Hae Mo-su of Buyeo|Haemosu]] who is described as a "strong man" and "a heavenly prince."<ref>Ilyon, "Samguk yusa", Yonsei University Press, p. 45</ref> The river god chased Yuhwa away to the Ubal River ({{korean|hanja=優渤水|hangul=우발수}}) due to her pregnancy, where she met and became the concubine of [[Geumwa of Dongbuyeo|Geumwa]].

Jumong was well known for his exceptional [[archery]] skills. Eventually, Geumwa's sons became jealous of him, and Jumong was forced to leave [[Eastern Buyeo]].<ref>Ilyon, "Samguk yusa", p. 46</ref> The Stele and later Korean sources disagree as to which Buyeo Jumong came from. The Stele says he came from [[Buyeo]] and the ''Samguk yusa'' and ''Samguk sagi'' say he came from Eastern Buyeo. Jumong eventually made it to [[Jolbon]], where he married [[Soseono]], daughter of its ruler. He subsequently became king himself, founding Goguryeo with a small group of his followers from his native country.

A traditional account from the "Annals of Baekje" section in the ''Samguk sagi'' says that Soseono was the daughter of Yeon Tabal, a wealthy influential figure in Jolbon<ref>[http://100.empas.com/dicsearch/pentry.html?s=K&i=273624 Encyclopedia of Korean Culture] {{in lang|ko}}</ref> and married to Jumong. However, the same source officially states that the king of Jolbon gave his daughter to Jumong, who had escaped with his followers from Eastern Buyeo, in marriage. She gave her husband, Jumong, financial support<ref name="proper">[https://archive.today/20121209100935/http://100.naver.com/100.nhn?docid=828500 Doosan Encyclopedia Online] {{in lang|ko}}</ref> in founding the new statelet, Goguryeo. After [[Yuri of Goguryeo|Yuri]], son of Jumong and his first wife, Lady Ye, came from Dongbuyeo and succeeded Jumong, she left Goguryeo, taking her two sons [[Biryu]] and [[Onjo of Baekje|Onjo]] south to found their own kingdoms, one of which was [[Baekje]].

Jumong's given surname was "Hae" ({{korean|hanja=解|hangul=해}}), the name of the Buyeo rulers. According to the ''Samguk yusa'', Jumong changed his surname to "Go" ({{korean|hanja=高|hangul=고}}) in conscious reflection of his divine parentage.<ref>Ilyon, "Samguk yusa", pp. 46–47</ref> Jumong is recorded to have conquered the tribal states of Biryu ({{korean|hanja=沸流國|hangul=비류국}}) in 36 BC, Haeng-in ({{korean|hanja=荇人國|hangul=행인국}}) in 33 BC, and Northern [[Okjeo]] in 28 BC.<ref>《三国史记》："六年 秋八月 神雀集宫庭 冬十月 王命乌伊扶芬奴 伐太白山东南人国 取其地为城邑。十年 秋九月 鸾集于王台 冬十一月 王命扶尉 伐北沃沮灭之 以其地为城邑"</ref><ref name="mygoguryeo" />
