The success to the civil service examination in the Joseon dynasty Korea meant not only the honor to the candidates and their families but also their entry to the high circles, because it guaranteed major central and provincial government positions, and also provided a major means whereby economic wealth might be accumulated. This paper analyzes the successful candidates resident in Namwon, which was one of the major cities in Jeolla province at the times.The conclusion is as follows:First, 7 Buan Kim passed the civil service examination, topping the other clans resident in Namwon. Jeonju Choi and Gyeongju Choi ranked to the second and the third respectively. Most of successful degree holders were found in the families whose clan seats were located at the Jeolla province.Second, Namwon produced one successful candidate every four years. The number became larger in later Joseon, but the percentage of Namwon residents over all the new Munkwa degree holders generally decreased, reflecting the power of the successful candidates resident in Seoul. Third, only 16 percents among the successful candidates in Namwon had held offices under government or some degrees before they passed the civil service examination. This means that many people took and passed the Munkwa without a Saengwon or Jinsa degree in late Joseon.Fourth, 44 percents or so of the successful candidates in Namwon came from the ancestors with the official careers. This means the balance of the old and the new generations. Especially the de facto transmission of official posts to the posterity was on an increasing trend in late Joseon. Fifth, a good number of the successful candidates in Namwon were promoted to the senior grade of the 3rd rank in the government. This proves that, unlike a popular opinion, officials from Jeolla province were not discriminated against in the career of the official world.
