To me Bohai is a majority Mohe Kingdom with a minority Koguryo population, its founder is either a Koguryo general or a Mohe from Koguryo.
To claim Bohai as Korean would be as same as China claiming Thailand or Malaysia as part of its history since Thailand has >10% Chinese and Malaysia has like 30%Chinese and even the prime minister of Thailand has Chinese ancestry or writing singapore history under History of China.
Goguryeo is one of the Korean three kingdoms and thus we have imposed the construct of Korean on Goguryeo, Baekje, and Shilla.

To complicate the story even more, during much of its existence, the kingdom of Goguryeo dealt with a China dominated not by ethnic Chinese but by various tribe peoples mostly speaking Altaic languages, not unlike the situation when the Yi Dynasty of Korea had to deal with the Manchu.
One should be even less concerned about the prospect that China's claim regarding the kingdom of Goguryeo may further extend to Korea's southwestern kingdom of Paekche, which according to early legends was founded by someone related to the family that had earlier founded Goguryeo.
Moreover, one may also wonder about the fate of the kingdom of Bohai (Parhae) established in modern northeastern China and Russia's far east by the surviving Goguryeo people after their old kingdom was overrun by Silla (with the support of China).
