Seonbi
''Seonbi'' () were scholars during the Goryeo and Joseon periods of Korean history. They were generally seen as non-governmental servants of the public, who chose to pass on the benefits and authority of official power in order to develop and share knowledge. However, some former bureaucrats were seen as ''seonbi'', as they moved to the countryside after retirement and adopted the ''seonbi'' lifestyle.

It is used similarly to the English term "geezer", or to highlight a perceived anachronistic value system. Philosophy The seo ...
