Bak Gyeong-won (1869–1947) was the eldest son of Bak Yong-dae (1849–1927), a former Minister of Justice who led the compilation of the Jeungbo Munheon bigo. After the 1910 annexation, Bak Gyeong-won inherited his father's Japanese-conferred baron title, an act for which he is listed as a pro-Japanese collaborator by the government and the Dictionary of Pro-Japanese Biography.
