*''Born: [[1378]]''
*''Died: [[1458]]''
Park Yeon was a Korean scholar-official and musician in the [[Joseon]] court. He is credited with developing a new type of ''pyeongyeong'' (C: ''biānqìng''), a type of ancient Chinese lithophone percussion instrument, which he updated with the addition of pitch pipes.
Born into a scholar-official family, Park passed the Confucian exams and earned a position in the bureaucracy in [[1424]]. However, soon afterwards he left his bureaucratic post in favor of serving as a court musician.
