Pak Suryang was a [[Joseon]] Confucian official, said to have been perfectly upright, his character unblemished by any corruption.

Pak served in government for some 39 years, including rising to the position of ''[[hojopanseo]]'' (a top Minister position). Following his death, [[King Myeongjong]] had a stele erected in Pak's memory in the county of [[Jangseong]]; in reference to Pak's supposedly unblemished character, the stele bears no inscription whatsoever.
