Pyeonghae Hwang clan (Korean: 평해 황씨; Hanja: 平海 黃氏) is one of the Korean clans. Their Bon-gwan is in Pyeonghae-eup, Uljin County, North Gyeongsang Province. According to the research from 2015, the number of Pyeonghae Hwang clan members was 168,374. Hwang Rak (Hanja: 黄洛), a minister in Han dynasty, began the Hwang clan in Korea. When Hwang Rak (Hanja: 黄洛) was dispatched as an envoy in 28 B.C. during Emperor Guangwu of Han's reign, he was cast ashore on his way to Vietnam and was naturalized in Silla. As a result, Hwang On in, a descendant of Hwang Rak (Hanja: 黄洛), became a Pyeonghae Hwang clan's founder.[1][2]
