She was born in the wealthy sector of Seosan, South Chungcheong Province during the reign of King Yeongjo, her future husband. Her hometown was Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province, and was a scion of the Gyeongju Kim clan. She had one older brother and a younger brother.Marriage and becoming queen[edit]After the death of Queen Jeongseong in 1757, King Yeongjo held bridal selections to choose his second queen. His father had banned former concubines from becoming queen, so King Yeongjo could not elevate one of his concubines to queenship, as many former kings had done.On 9 June 1759, Queen Jeongsun was chosen as queen. During the bridal selections, Yeongjo allegedly asked the candidates what the deepest thing in the world was. Some cited the mountains, the sea, or a parent\u2019s love, but she cited the human heart, capturing his attention on her wisdom. When asked about the most beautiful flower, she answered, “The cotton flower is the most beautiful flower, although it does not exude fashion and scent, but it is the most beautiful flower that warms the people by weaving thread.”On 22 June 1759, Queen Jeongsun formally married King Yeongjo at Changgyeong Palace. This marriage was considered the oldest marriage in Joseon Dynasty history as Yeongjo was 64 years old, and the Queen was 13 years old at the time of the marriage. She was also 10 years younger than her husband’s son and heir, Crown Prince Sado, and his daughter-in-law, Lady Hyegyeong.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Queen Jeongsun’s father was given the royal title of “Internal Prince Oheung” (Hangul: \uc624\ud765\ubd80\uc6d0\uad70, Hanja: \u9c32\u8208\u5e9c\u9662\u541b), and her mother was given the royal title “Internal Princess Consort Wonpung of the Wonju Won Clan” (Hangul: \uc6d0\ud48d\ubd80\ubd80\uc778 \uc6d0\uc8fc \uc6d0\uc528, Hanja: \u539f\u8c4a\u5e9c\u592b\u4eba \u539f\u5dde \u5143\u6c0f). The Queen was known to be a little assertive towards her husband. When it had come to get measured for clothing, the palace maid had politely asked the King to turn his back. Yet, she also asked her husband in a decisive tone saying, “Can you turn around?”.She and her husband shared a deep love for one another, but despite that, they had produced no princes or princesses. There was no record of the young queen bearing children, or having a miscarriage.Crown Prince Sado died in 1762 and his sister, Yi Yong-wan, Princess Hwawan, became protectress of Sado’s son, Yi San. Yeongjo died on 22 April 1776 and Yi San ascended to the throne as the 22nd Joseon monarch (temple name: Jeongjo). As widow of a king, she was honoured as Queen Dowager Yesun. Hong Bong-han, Jeongjo’s maternal grandfather, and Jeong Hu-gyeom, Princess Hwawan’s adoptive son, protested this decision. Yesun’s older brother, Kim Gwi-ju, advised his sister to wait for the right moment, but Jeongjo acted first. He dismissed Hong Bong-han and Jeong Hu-gyeom from office. However, Jeongjo later exiled Kim Gwi-ju to Heuksan Island on the grounds of disrespect towards the King’s mother, Lady Hyegyeong, but the real reason was because of Kim Gwi-ju’s involvement with Hong Bong-han’s dismissal during Yeongjo’s reign. This action caused unspoken tension and extreme confrontations between Yesun and Jeongjo.Regency[edit]In 1800, Jeongjo died of an abscess on his back at age 49. He died 15 days after first being treated. His last words were ‘Sujeongjeon Hall,’ which was the residence of Yesun, giving rise to speculation to this day that Jeongjo was poisoned by the Queen Dowager. He was succeeded by his 10 years old son, Yi Gong (temple name: King Sunjo) and Yesun raised to the status of Grand Queen Dowager.[3] As the most senior-generation member of the royal family, Yesun acted as regent for the young king and exerted the power until she voluntarily gave it up in 1803. She departed from the policy of the late King, enforcing the Catholic Persecution of 1801 and favoring the Noron Byeokpa faction.Yesun had purged a large number of conflicting Soron sects, executed Jeongjo’s half-brother and maternal uncle, Prince Euneon and Hong Nak-im, abolished Jang Yong-young established by Jeongjo, and massively defeated the Catholic Church that Jeongjo had tolerated. It was repressed and expelled other people and the Soron faction.She also hired a large number of Noron Bukpa officials, such as Kim Gwan-ju and Kim Yong-ju, whom she had struck by Jeongjo. In 1802, in accordance with Jeongjo’s law, she had Kim Jo-sun’s daughter, the future Queen Sunwon, became the queen consort of Sunjo, and Kim Jo-sun was sealed to Internal Prince Yeongan (\u6c38\u5b89\u5e9c\u9662\u541b) and was resigned from her rule.On 9 February 1804, after reaping the convergence and cleansing, when Sunjo’s family was declared, most of the bureaucrats were purged by Kim Jo-sun, the father of Queen Sunwon, and the power of King Jeongjo. Her influence was weakened, and she had a futile last year of reign, and a year later, on 11 February 1805, she died in Gyeongbokjeon at Changdeokgung Palace. She was posthumous honoured as Queen Jeongsun.Death[edit]Queen Jeongsun is buried with her husband King Yeongjo and his first wife, Queen Jeongseong, in the dynastic tombs at Donggureung, the royal tomb of Wonneung (\uc6d0\ub989, \u5143\u9675), in the city of Guri, Gyeonggi Province.ParentFather \u2212 Kim Han-gu (\uae40\ud55c\uad6c, \u91d1\u6f22\u8009) (23 February 1723 \u2013 5 November 1769)1) Grandfather \u2212 Kim Seon-gyeong (\uae40\uc120\uacbd, \u91d1\u9078\u6176)) (1699 \u2013 19 September 1760)2) Great-Grandfather \u2212 Kim Du-gwang (\uae40\ub450\uad11, \u91d1\u6597\u5149)3) Great-Great-Grandfather \u2212 Kim Gye-jin (\uae40\uacc4\uc9c4, \u91d1\u5b63\u73cd)4) Great-Great-Great-Grandfather \u2212 Kim Hong-ok (\uae40\ud64d\uc6b1) (25 June 1602 \u2013 27 August 1657)5) Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandfather \u2212 Kim Jeok (\uae40\uc801, \u91d1\u7a4d)6) Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandfather \u2212 Kim Ho-yoon (\uae40\ud638\uc724, \u91d1\u597d\u5c39)5) Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandmother \u2212 Lady Choi of the Hwasun Choi clan (\ud654\uc21c \ucd5c\uc528)4) Great-Great-Great-Grandmother \u2212 Lady Oh of the Dongbok Oh clan (\ub3d9\ubcf5 \uc624\uc528)1) Grandmother \u2212 Lady Hong of the Namyang Hong clan (\uc99d \uc815\uacbd\ubd80\uc778 \ub0a8\uc591 \ud64d\uc528, \u8d08 \u8c9e\u656c\u592b\u4eba \u5357\u967d \u6d2a\u6c0f) (1704\u20131754)Uncle \u2212 Kim Han-gi (\uae40\ud55c\uae30, \u91d1\u6f22\u8006) (1728\u20131792)Aunt-in-law \u2212 Lady Han of the Cheongju Han clan (\uccad\uc8fc \ud55c\uc528)Uncle \u2212 Kim Han-ro (\uae40\ud55c\ub85c, \u91d1\u6f22\u8001) (1746 \u2013\u00a0?)Mother \u2212 Internal Princess Consort Wonpung of the Wonju Won clan (\uc6d0\ud48d\ubd80\ubd80\uc778 \uc6d0\uc8fc \uc6d0\uc528) (1722\u20131769)1) Grandfather \u2212 Won Man-jik (\uc6d0\uba85\uc9c1, \u5143\u547d\u7a37) (1683\u20131725)1) Step grandmother \u2212 Lady Yi of the Deoksu Yi clan (\uc99d \uc815\ubd80\uc778 \ub355\uc218 \uc774\uc528, \u8d08 \u8c9e\u592b\u4eba \u5fb7\u6c34 \u674e\u6c0f) (1682\u20131718)1) Grandmother \u2212 Lady Sim of the Cheongseong Sim clan (\uccad\uc1a1 \uc2ec\uc528, \u9751\u677e \u6c88\u6c0f) (1696\u20131776); Won Man-jik\u2019s second wifeSiblingsOlder brother \u2212 Kim Gwi-ju (\uae40\uadc0\uc8fc, \u91d1\u9f9c\u67f1) (1740\u20131786)Sister-in-law \u2212 Lady Yi of the Deoksu Yi clan (\uc99d \uc815\ubd80\uc778 \ub355\uc218 \uc774\uc528, \u8d08 \u8c9e\u592b\u4eba \u5fb7\u6c34 \u674e\u6c0f) (1741\u20131767)Nephew \u2212 Kim No-chong (\uae40\ub178\ucda9, \u91d1\u9b6f\u5fe0)Sister-in-law \u2212 Lady Park of the Bannam Park clan (\ubc18\ub0a8 \ubc15\uc528, \u6f58\u5357 \u6734\u6c0f); Kim Gwi-ju’s second wifeNephew \u2212 Kim No-seo (\uae40\ub178\uc11c, \u91d1\u9b6f\u6055)Younger brother \u2212 Kim In-ju (\uae40\uc778\uc8fc, \u91d1\u9e9f\u67f1)ConsortIn popular culture[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki14\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki14\/queen-jeongsun-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Queen Jeongsun – Wikipedia"}}]}]
