Park Eon-ui (朴彦儀) is the person the Wolseong Park clan reveres as founder; Wikipedia's Wolseong Park entry introduces him as a Silla royal-kin youngest son of King Gyeongmyeong (Park Seung-yeong). The remote ancestor is Park Hyeokgeose. In the tradition that Gyeongmyeong-line Park seats branched from the king's eight sons, the youngest, Grand Prince Wolseong, is placed as ancestor of the Wolseong Park.
The same Wikipedia entry states plainly, however, that the story of his being enfeoffed as Grand Prince Wolseong was shaped when genealogies were compiled in later times. His Silla-prince stage is therefore clan tradition more than history, and his dates, family and activities are not confirmed.
Documented descent begins in early Goryeo. Wikipedia counts Park Hwi, a pangyeolsa under King Hyejong, as the first mid-founder and Park In-yuk, a minor official under Hyeonjong, as second mid-founder and true first generation, whereas the account of the Wolseong Park clan tomb site in Incheon gives Park Gu (1337-1404) as mid-founder, so sources appear to differ.
Wikipedia states that the story of enfeoffment as Grand Prince Wolseong arose in later genealogies; this site does not treat it as established fact.
