This study examined the move and settlement of Hyangri descendants who did not carry out hyangyuk(鄕役). The three sons of Bongji(鳳祉), descendants of the Panseogongpa(判書公派) of the Dalseong(達城) Seo(徐), who produce a large number of Hyangri in Daegu, left the downtown where they lived for generations. It was Ili(一里), Joam-myeon(租巖面), where the family of Bongji’s third son, Changsu(昌壽)’s spouse, lived. Changsu’s spouse was Gyeongju(慶州) Choi(崔), which was the largest family name in Il-ri, Joam-myeon. With the help of his wife family, Changsu settled in Il-ri, Joam-myeon, and his two older brothers chased him to this place. Since then, Bongji’s descendants, who have steadily grown their family in Il-ri, Joam-myeon, have eventually become the largest member in Il-ri, Joam-myeon, in mid-19th century. All descendants of Bongji appear as Yuhak(幼學) in Hojuk(戶籍) However, it does not meant that their social status is very high. Their marriage network was totally different from the Yangban(兩班)'s marriage in the late Joseon Dynasty. There was no overlapping marriage relationship with family who live in a specific area, nor was the marriage network broad. In addition, the position of the wife family, which was examined through occupation, is also unreasonable to be regarded as the upper class or Yangban. It is often understood that the descendants of Hyangri left the downtown to raise their status as Yangban. If we look at the settlement process of descendants of Bongji according to this standard, it is close to failure. However, it is difficult to use the expression "failure", if we think only about the settlement of Il-ri Joam-myeon, not comparing them with Yangban. They were slow but gradually grew up in Il-ri, Joam-myeon. Their settlement also seems to be able to give conflicting answers depending on what criteria we look at.
