From the article:
Lee Hun-beom points out that the Hwasan Lee family isn’t the only such example. The Gimhae Heo family trace their lineage back to King Suro of Geumgwan Gaya and his Indian wife. The Deoksu Jang family, meanwhile, are the descendants of Jang Sun-nyong, a Muslim Uyghur attendant to a Mongol princess sent to marry the the Goryeo king. Yi Ji-ran, a general who served as Yi Seong-gye’s right hand in the establishment of the Joseon kingdom and progenitor of the Cheonghae Lee family, was a Jurchen. Then there’s General Sayaga, one of Kato Kiyomasa’s commanders during the Imjin War, who liked Korea so much he decided to defect to the other side (bringing with him matchlock technology). He was eventually granted the Korean name Kim Chung-seon of the Gimhae Kim clan.

Then there's the day sometime in the mid 500s when a bunch of Yakuts rode in from Siberia (from Yakutia) and conquered the place in a few weeks. They went on to conquer Japan (a good part of it in the South) a few years later.

They definitely spread some good will!

BTW, they'd only been back in Yakutia about 200 years. They'd had an extended stay in India that lasted at least 500 years. As conquerors there they had their way with the local girls and brought "large breasts" into the tribe to stay. These later on showed up in certain Korean families AND, voila, among certain Japanese families.

In an earlier time this particular bunch, once again in Yakutia (their on again/off again homeland grazing range) took trips to the Arctic ~ you can trace the Eskimos to some of their clans. They also took trips to the Americas. Na Dene people may well be pretty much Yakuts.

Worth noting ~ Buddha was a Yakuts (or Sakha as they are also known).

More recently DNA studies have pretty much linked them to a degree with the Sa'ami ~ thus explaining why the Sa'ami and the Eskimos have some of the same genetic differences that make it possible for them to live in the Arctic.

It is quite easy to laugh at the Korean and Japanese claims to homogeneity!

Let me do so: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Korean Cinema is awesome.

About the only human populations of "pure blood" are those that have been in isolation for a long, long time, and there are hardly any of those left--they won't stay homogeneous for long.

That said, hybrid vigor is a good thing. The race purists don't know much about genetics.
