Biography

Early life

Princess Sukseon was born on 11 April 1793 as the second child and only daughter of Royal Noble Consort Su and King Jeongjo. Her personal name is unknown.

Her father later died on 18 August 1800, during his 24th year of reign. Thus having her older brother, Yi Gong, ascend the throne on 23 August 1800.

Marriage and later life

On 27 May 1804, at age 11, Princess Sukseon married Hong Hyeon-ju, the youngest son of Hong In-mo and Lady Seo of the Dalseong Seo clan.[3] Her husband was honoured as Prince Consort Yeongmyeong (영명위). The marriage ceremony was held in Changdeok Palace’s Huijeongdang Hall.

The Princess had a good relationship with her brother, Sunjo. As a result, he continued to visit her after her marriage, despite the disapproval of the court officials.

In 1813, she gave birth to her only child, a son named Hong Woo-cheol.

Based on Hong Seon-pyo's book, Joseon Culinary Studies (조선요리학, 朝鮮料理學; lit. 'Korean Gastronomy'), the Princess made a new dish from diced radish. When it was tasted by the Royal Family, they all liked it and the King highly praised her. The dish was later named Kkakdugi (깍두기), because cutting food into cubes is called kkakduk sseolgi (깍둑썰기) in Korean.[4][5][6]

Princess Sukseon died on June 7, 1836.
