Park or Pak is one of the more numerous family names of the Korean people in Korea, which its origin is starting from King Park Hyeokgeose, the founder of Silla dynasty on 57 BCE. When written with a Chinese character (Hanja), it uses a character that means "sincere," "simple" and "unadorned." When the case is based on the surname, it means plain. It is usually transliterated as either Pak (as in Pak Se Ri, a golfer) or Park (as in Park Chung Hee, ex-president of Korea and Park Chan Ho, a Major League Baseball pitcher). Nine percent of the Korean population share this surname.
