Princess Hyomyeong

Princess Hyomyeong (1638 – September 1700), was the only daughter of King Injo of Joseon with Royal Consort Gwi-in of the Okcheon Jo clan.

With the birth of being the only princess within princes, King Injo showered her with affection.

It was said that King Injo let her have the option of choosing her husband, but Royal Consort Gwi-in Jo had manipulated the outcome with the consent from Kim Ja-jeom.

King Injo cherished her deeply, resulting in her self-centered behaviour and bad relationship with her sister-in-law.

After King Injo’s death, Lady Gwi-in Jo was accused of putting curses on Queen Jangryeol and King Hyojong, and Princess Hyomyeong admitted to burying unlucky things in the palace and Grand Prince Inpyeong’s residence with regard to the curse.
