What are 공후백자남?

ANSWER: titles of nobility
  • 공작 (公爵) - Duke
  • 후작 (侯爵) - Marquis
  • 백작 (伯爵) - Count (Earl)
  • 자작 (子爵) - Viscount
  • 남작 (男爵) - Baron
The pure Korean word for 작 (爵) is 벼슬, which translates as government rank or a government post, but 爵 can also mean 작위 (爵位), which translates as peerage or title and rank of nobility.
