Origins & Lineage

The Park surname is unique because all Park clans trace their origin back to a single person: Bak Hyeokgeose, the founding king of Silla.

Historical Background

Legend says Bak Hyeokgeose was born from a large egg found near a well. Since the egg looked like a gourd (Bak in Korean), he was given the surname Park. Unlike Kim and Lee, there are no foreign-originated Park clans.

Modern Statistics

Approx. 8.4% of the Korean population.
