Hwarang Segi (lit. Annals of Hwarang) is a historical record of Hwarang of Silla in ancient Korea. It is said to be written by Silla historian Kim Dae-Mun in the reign of Seongdeok the Great (r. 702~737).

Hwarang Segi survived to the time that Kim Busik wrote Samguk Sagi, but considered to be lost since then; because no reference of Hwarang Segi has been made, but a manuscript of Hwarang Segi has been found in 1989, in Kimhae County of South Korea.

The importance of Hwarang Segi is that is one of scarce historical work about Silla by a Sillan himself, and it's free from confucian dogma and beliefs. Most of later historians have based their understanding of Three Kingdoms era on Goryeo Dynasty resources like Samguk Sagi and Samguk Yusa.

Hwarang Segi is made of 16 parts; one for the introduction and the fifteen for the biographies of fifteen Hwarangs. They are:

  1. Introduction
  2. Wihwarang
  3. Mijinbu
  4. Morang
  5. Ihwarang
  6. Sadaham
  7. Sejong
  8. Seolwonrang
  9. Munno
  10. Biborang
  11. Miseng
  12. Hajong
  13. Bori
  14. Yongchun
  15. Horim
  16. Kim Yu-shin

However, the historical validity of existing copy of Hwarang Segi is a subject of great controversy by the Japanese and majority of the Korean scholar; most scholar thinks of this as a forgery while some other argue against it.
