Geumwa became king after Hae Buru's death. Not long after, King Geumwa reversed his father's submission to Bukbuyeo and declared himself "Supreme king" and gave the title posthumously to his father, Hae Buru. At Ubalsu, south of Taebaek Mountain, Geumwa met Lady Yuhwa (), who was the disowned daughter Habaek (), the god of the Amnok River or, according to an alternative interpretation, the sun god Haebak (). and brought her back to his palace. She was impregnated by sunlight and laid an egg, from which hatched Jumong ().
