There is a minor disagreement over in which year Geumsansa was founded, according to sources. The 1635 compilation, Geumsansa sajeok records that the temple was established in 600 AD by Baekje (18 BC-660 AD), one of the three kingdoms that ruled the Korean peninsula during this period. The year indicates both the second year of King Beop's short-lived reign (r. 599-600) and the first year of the next ruler and his son, King Mu's reign (r. 600-641). In the document, King Beop who was a faithful Buddhist ordered a royal edict to prohibit killing of any living creatures in 599 and ordained 38 Buddhist monks. On the other hand, according to Cultural Heritage Administration of South Korea, Buddhapia, a South Korean Buddhist portal site and others, Geumsasa was built in 599, the first year of King Beop. Regardless of the founding date, it was assumed not to have been a significant temple in the scope of its scale and character.
