Boseong Seon clan (Korean: 보성 선씨; Hanja: 寶城 宣氏) is a Korean clan. Their Bon-gwan is in Boseong County, South Jeolla Province. As of 2000[update], there are about 34842 members in the clan. Their founder was Seon Yun ji who was naturalized in Goryeo. He was a descendant of Shusun Qiaoru (叔孙侨如), the great-great-grandson of Huan, the Duke of State of Lu. He fulfilled his duty as Secretary (Hanja: 學士) in the Ming dynasty in 1382. He stabilized the citizenry by making achievements, such as winning a battle against Jeolla Province's troops in a coastal area during Wokou. He abandoned his rank when Goryeo was destroyed, and chose to settle in Boseong.[1][2][3]
