Based on a single specimen (207.0 mm SL) collected from the southern coastal waters of Jejudo Island, morphological characteristics of Antennarius commerson were described as the first reliable record from Korea. The species is characterized by having a globose body covered with small bifurcated spinules, three dorsal spines including a naked illicium and attached pectoral lobe, 13 dorsal fin soft rays, 8 anal fin rays, and 11 pectoral fin rays. We adopted a tentative Korean name previously suggested, "Keun-ssin-being-i", for the species.
