Biography

Princess Yeongon was born on May 11, 1817, as the only child of King Sunjo by his concubine, Royal Consort Sug-ui of the Miryang Park clan. She was the younger half-sister of Crown Prince Hyomyeong.

In 1827 (2nd year of her father's reign), she was granted the title of Princess Yeongon (영온 옹주).[3]

She was said to had been frequently ill as a child and spoke with difficulty.

Princess Yeongon died in 1829. Crown Prince Hyomyeong, who would visit and take care of his sister whenever she fell ill, died a year after her, on June 25, 1830. Many believe that he died from a broken heart.

The Princess's tomb was originally located at Hyochang-dong, Yongsan District, Seoul,[4] but was relocated during the Japanese Colonial period to Seosamneung, in Goyang, along with her birth mother, Lady Park.
