mr=Saban-wang, Sabi-wang, Sai-wangSaban of Baekje (?–?, r. 234) was the 7th king of
Baekje , one of theThree Kingdoms of Korea . He was the eldest son of the 6th king Gusu.According to the
Samguk Sagi , Saban was found too young to rule and quickly succeeded (theSamguk Yusa says deposed) by King Goi, the younger brother of the 5th king Chogo. This is interpreted by scholars as a power struggle within the court, and the rise of the Jin clan over the Hae clan.Nothing is known of the birth, later life, or death of Saban. However, he is recorded in some
Japan ese chronicles, including "Shinsen Shojiroku ", as the progenitor of certain clans ofYamato period Japan. This may indicate that he spent the later part of his life in that country.ee also
