Isabu () was a military general and politician of Silla during the 6th century. According to Samguk sagi, he is the fourth generation descendant of Naemul of Silla. He was also known as Taejong. He is best remembered today for his role in subjugating the island nation of Usan-guk. Usan-guk is the modern-day Ulleungdo, an island located in Sea of Japan (East Sea). There is a dispute regarding his surname, as his family name is written as Kim in the Samguk sagi. He was the 4th generation descendant of King Naemul, which also provides direct proof that his family name was Kim. In Samguk yusa, his

Pidam (; ? – 26 February 647) was a Silla politician who served as Sangdaedeung from 645 to 647. He is most known for leading a rebellion against Queen Seondeok of Silla, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. Prior to his rebellion, he held the position of a Sangdaedeung (the highest official in the court). Details about his birth or achievements are vaguely known as there are no actual records containing them. However, being a Sangdaedeung, could have meant that he was part of the royal nobles or a Jinggol.

Misil (; c. 546/548 – c. 612) was a Silla aristocrat whose historical existence is debatable. According to the Hwarang Segi, she was a concubine to several kings and, along with her aunt Queen Sado, played an instrumental role in dethroning King Jinji. However, it has been questioned whether Misil was truly a historical figure, as she is only mentioned in the Hwarang Segi, and not in the historical texts Samguk sagi or Samguk yusa.

Ansŭng (; ), alternately Ansun (), was thought to be either the nephew or illegitimate son of King Bojang of Goguryeo, the last King of Goguryeo. He was named the new King of Goguryeo by general Geom Mojam, but later he murdered Geom and submitted to the Korean kingdom of Silla, taking up residence in the Silla capital of Gyeongju.

Ajagae was a military and rebel leader in the Sangju area during the waning years of Unified Silla who led a local rebellion which seized Sangju and is remembered primarily as the father of Kyŏn Hwŏn, the founder and first king of Later Baekje. Some Kyŏn family lineages therefore claim him as their progenitor, although he was surnamed Yi. Ajagae was born and lived most of his life in Gaeun, in modern-day Mungyeong, where he was a farmer. According to the historical text Samguk yusa, he was descended from King Jinheung of Silla, but clearly his branch of the family had lost its royal connection
