Royal Noble Consort Suk of the Namyang Hong clan (Korean: 숙빈 남양 홍씨; Hanja: 肅嬪 南陽 洪氏; 1418 – ?)
The exact date of Lady Hong's birth is not clear, but in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty it was mentioned that she was younger than Crown Princess Gwon.
[2] She had one younger brother, Hong Eung, Internal Prince Ikseong (홍응 익성 부원군), who was a member of the State Council of Joseon.
[7] After Munjong ascended the throne, she was promoted to Gwi-in (junior first rank concubine of the King; 귀인, 貴人), and given the authority to become the leader the Inner Court since the Queen's seat was empty.
On August 7, 1452, a few months after Danjong succeeded his father, Lady Hong was honoured as Bin (senior first rank concubine of the King; 빈, 嬪), with the prefix Suk (肅), meaning "respectful".
