Life & career

Park Su-ryang (朴守良, 1491-1554), courtesy name Gun-su and posthumous title Jeonghye, was an early-Joseon official said to have been born at Sogok in Jangseong, South Jeolla (now Hwangryong-myeon). After passing the special civil examination in 1514 he served in the Seungmunwon, the Office of Censors and the Inspector-General's office, and as Governor of Hamgyeong Province, magistrate of Damyang, Mayor of Hanseong, Vice Minister of Taxation, Second Minister of the Privy Council and Chief Commissioner of the Royal Household Office.

He was chosen as a Cheongbaengni (incorruptible official) in 1546 and 1552, and when he died in 1554 his family could not afford the funeral, so King Myeongjong is said to have ordered it funded. His grave in Jangseong is famed for the inscription-less stele known as the Baekbi (Jeonnam Monument No. 198). He is regarded as founder of the Jeonghye-gong branch of the Taein Park.
