Buyeo Yung (615–682) was the eldest son ofKing Uija, the last king ofBaekje. He was appointed crown prince in 644, and would have been the kingdom's 32nd ruler. He is known as the progenitor of Buyeo Seo Clan (부여 서씨/扶餘徐氏) where he changed his surname to Seo.
After his father was overthrown by an alliance ofSilla and the ChineseTang dynasty in 660, Buyeo Yung was sent into exile at the Tang capitalLuoyang, along with his father. After the defeat of the Baekje restoration movement led byBoksin andDochim at theBattle of Baekgang, which had sought to place Yung's brotherBuyeo Pung on the throne, Tang felt the need for a ruler who could pacify the Baekje area. Beginning in 664, Buyeo Yung served briefly as the governor of theUngjin Commandery (웅진도독부;熊津都督府) which Tang established to oversee the former territory of Baekje.
After Silla expelled Tang forces from the Korean peninsula in 676, Buyeo Yung returned to Luoyang, where he spent the rest of his days.
