Choe Yu-ga is honored as the restorer-ancestor of the Sangnyeong Choe clan, a mid-Goryeo figure. Under King Myeongjong he is said to have served as head of the Gukjagam and Chumirwon Busa before rising to Chamjijeongsa and Munha Sirang Pyeongjangsa (dates given as 1190 and 1194), and the seat name Sangnyeong is explained by his spending his old age there.
His name is written 瑜價 or 瑜賈 in different sources. He is described as a descendant in the line of founder Choe Cheon-ro.
Clan-side accounts say Choe Yu-ga spent his old age in Sangnyeong, giving the clan its seat, and hence he is honored as restorer. Wikipedia lists founder and restorer, while the Digital Sejong Encyclopedia does not name a restorer but notes that a descendant Choe Yu-ga became chief minister.
The generations after Choe Yu-ga are lost, so descendants count Choe Seon-bo and Choe Yeon as first ancestors of the Nangjang-gong and Busa-gong branches. Choe Hang came from the Nangjang-gong branch.
We could not directly confirm him in the Goryeosa; the above follows genealogical secondary sources.
