Based on a single juvenile specimen (20.7 mm SL) collected from Jeju Island, Apogon semiornatus was described as a new Korean record. The species is characterized by having VI-I, 9 dorsal fin rays, 12 pectoral fin rays; II, 8 anal fin rays and two blackish oblique bands on yellowish red body. A new Korean name, "Geom-eun-du-jul-bulg-eun-dong-gal-dom", is proposed.
