Gwonbeon ({{Korean|hangul=권번}}) were institutions set up for the training and oversight of kisaeng and other entertainers in the early 20th century. They were the successors of the gyobang, government-supported institutions which had provided such education and oversight in the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties.
