Cha (Korean Surname)
Cha () is a Korean family name. The Chae (車) clan, which takes Yeonan (延安) as its main branch, is descended from an ancient Chinese emperor (姓 was 姬, 諱 was 軒轅). The origin of the Chae clan in Korea dates back to when Emperor's descendant Sa-sin-gap (似辛甲) fled to ancient Joseon from China, settling down in Pyungyang under Iltosan (一土山), and changing his name to Wang-jo-myeong (王祖明). His descendant Wang Mong (王蒙) changed his name to Jeon (田), Shin (申), etc., to escape political persecution, and later changed his name to Cha Mu-il (車無一), thus establishing the origin of the Cha famil Notable people with the surname *Cha Bum-kun (born 1953), South Korean football manager *Cha Bumseok (1924–2006), South Korean playwright and director *Cha Chol-ma (born 1956), North Korean businessman *Cha Chung-hwa (born 1980), South Korean actress *Cha Dong-min (born 1986), South Korean retired taekwondo practitioner *Cha Du-ri (born 1980), German-born ...
