It depends on how the question is intended.

Korea had numerous distinct kingdoms that did not occupy the entire peninsula. The first one of these with a distinct capital was Gojoseon with its capital at Wanggeom in 194 B.C.E. It is disputed where Wanggeom is located, with North Koreans saying that it is in roughly the same location as the current North Korean capital of Pyongyang and South Koreas saying that it was a city in Manchuria, China along the Liao River.

The first time that the Korean peninsula was united was under the Goryeo in the 13th century. Their capital was at Kaesong, which is today the third-largest city in North Korea and less than 100 miles from the South Korea border.
