According to the research held in 2015, the number of Chogye Byun clan's member was 76045. The name of Byun clan came from the fact that Caoshu Zhenduo [zh]’s descendant who was a sixth son of King Wen in the Zhou dynasty was awarded the land named Pyŏn (Hanja: ). Pyŏn Wŏn (Hanja: 卞源) who worked as the minister of rites (禮部尚書, Lǐbu Shangshu) during the Tang dynasty period in China was dispatched to Silla having Classic of Filial Piety as one of the Eight Scholars (Hanja: 八學士) in 743.
