Dang Xuan Thanh, Vice President of the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences said: Under Vietnam's Ly dynasty, Prince Ly Long Tuong crossed the sea to Goryeo, where he was conferred the title and land by the King of Goryeo.

In the 17th century, a boat of 24 Joseon people drifted into Hoi An after days of struggling against storms. Suffering from hunger, thirst, and illness, they received warm help from Hoi An people. They were then facilitated to return to their homeland by the King of Dai Viet.

Those two stories are proof that exchanges between Korean and Vietnamese people began many centuries before the two countries officially established diplomatic relations.
