Gyeongju Seop clan (Korean경주 섭씨; Hanja慶州 葉氏) is one of the Korean clans. Their Bon-gwan is in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province. According to the research held in 2000, the number of Gyeongju Seop clan's member was 285. Their founder was Seop Gong je [ja] who worked as a Counsellor Remonstrant (Hanja: 諫議大夫) and Hanlin Academy in Song dynasty. Seop Gong je [ja] exiled himself to Goryeo expecting confliction and was settled in Damyang County located in Jeolla Province. Then, Gojong of Goryeo gave a government post to Seop Gong je [ja]. Seop Gong je [ja] retired his active life in Gangneung located in Gangwon Province (historical) via Gyeongju in Gyeongsang Province because enemies in Yuan dynasty came near him. A descendant of Seop Gong je [ja] founded Gyeongju Seop clan and made Damyang County Gyeongju Seop clan's Bon-gwan because Damyang County was the first place he was settled in.[1][2]
