Min Chi-rok

Min Chi-rok (Korean: 민치록; Hanja: 閔致祿; 17 January 1800 – 23 October 1858), formally honoured as Internal Prince Yeoseong (여성부원군; 驪城府院君).

Min studied under scholar Oh Hui-sang (오희상) when he was young, and eventually married his daughter, Lady Oh of the Haeju Oh clan, as his first wife.

[2] His wife then gave birth to a third daughter, Min Ja-yeong, on 17 November 1851 who would become the future Queen Consort to King Gojong.

In 1861, a relative of his clan, Min Seung-ho, became his adoptive son to continue his family line.

[3][4] His first wife was also granted the royal title of "Internal Princess Consort Haeryeong" (해령부부인) as she was also considered the mother of Queen Min.
