2.	execute for and on my behalf, in my capacity as an officer, director or
stockholder of HANMI FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company'), any Forms 3, 4 and 5 or any amendments thereto,  in accordance with
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act;

3.	do and perform any and all acts for and on my behalf that many be necessary
or desirable to complete and execute any such Forms 3, 4 and 5 and any

limited power of attorney may be filed with the SEC as a confirming statement of
