Pyeonghae Hwang clan (Hangul: 평해 황씨; Hanja: 平海 黃氏) is one of the Korean clans. Their Bon-gwan is in Uljin County, North Gyeongsang Province. According to the research held in 2015, the number of Pyeonghae Hwang clan’s member was 168374. Hwang Rak (hanja: 黄洛), a minister in Han dynasty, began 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 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]
