AB - This study reviews the research on the 10th-century eruption of Mt. Baektu, which has received much attention from domestic and international scholars since the 1990s, and examines its relevance and impact on the destruction of the Korean Peninsula. In recent years, the possibility of an eruption of Mt. Baektu has been raised, and interest in the eruption of Mt. Baektu in the past has also been heightened. This study examines the historical facts of the eruption of Mt. Baektu by reviewing the results of natural scientific research. Through the analysis of the research results, we consider that the eruption of Mt. Baektu in 946 is the most prominent hypothesis to date. We also examine the ash of Mt. Baektu distributed in Japan and the East Sea, along with various data related to the impact of the eruption at that time. We also examine the possibility of theories about the eruption of Mt. Baektu in the 9th century, and mention the connection with the destruction of the Balhae. We also examined the records of Balhae emissaries sent to Japan before and after the destruction of Balhae and tried to verify the year of the destruction of Balhae in 926. After the fall of Balhae in 926, due to the large-scale forced migration by the Khitan, most of the Balhae people around Baekdu Mountain were either relocated to Khitan and its allied countries or went into exile in Goryeo. Of course, some Balhae people lived in the area with their allied tribes and retained their Balhae identity. However, most Balhae people were diasporic, leaving the former Balhae region in the form of forced migration and exile and settling in other regions. In conclusion, the eruption of Mt. Baektu in 946 and the destruction of Balhae in 926 cannot be directly linked to the subsequent diaspora of the Balhae people. However, if future studies related to the eruption of Mt. Baektu in the 9th century are conducted and proven, it may be possible to show a direct or indirect connection between the eruption of Mt. Baektu and the destruction of the Balhae.
