Based on a single specimen collected from the northern coastal waters of Jeju Island, we described Hemiramphus far as the first record from Korea. The specimen shows a elongated body with a prolonged lower jaw, 13 dorsal fin rays, 11 anal fin rays, 36 predorsal scales, and silvery white body with five black bars laterally and yellowish color on posterior part of lower jaw, tips of dorsal fin and upper caudal lobe. "Geom-mu-neui-hag-gong-chi" is proposed as a new Korean name for the species.
