Biography
editThe future Royal Consort Sug-ui was born in 1436 as the eldest daughter and child of Shin Seon-gyeong and Lady Han of the Cheongju Han clan. She had five younger siblings; three sisters and two brothers.
Through her maternal grandfather, she was a second cousin to Han Myeong-hoe, and second cousins once removed to Queen Jangsun and Queen Gonghye as they shared Han Su (한수; 韓脩; 1333–1384) as their great-great-grandfather.
On August 23, 1456 (lunar calendar), she was selected to become the concubine of Crown Prince Uigyeong and was granted the title Consort So-hun (junior 5th rank concubine of the Crown Prince; 소훈, 昭訓).[2] She entered the palace on that same year.[3]
