Park Hwa-seong (1904~1988) was a South Korean novelist. She began her literary career in 1925 by publishing “Chuseokjeonhu” (추석전후 Before and After Chuseok) in Joseon Literature. Based on her feminine style and delicate observation, Park critically captured contemporary issues in her works. In particular, she identified the class problem and the conflict between the poor and the rich as structural problems, and made efforts to elucidate them in her works. She was awarded the National Academy of Arts Award and the Order of Cultural Merit.
