Princess Myeongsuk

Princess Myeongsuk (Hangul: 명숙공주, Hanja: 明淑公主; 1456 - 4 October 1482) or Princess Myeongui (Hangul: 명의공주, Hanja: 明懿公主), posthumously honoured as Princess Taean (Hangul: 태안군주, Hanja: 泰安郡主)[3] and personal name Yi Gyeong-geun (Hangul: 이경근, Hanja: 李慶根),[4] was a Korean Princess as the only daughter of Crown Prince Uigyeong and Queen Insu.[5] She was the older sister of Seongjong of Joseon and the younger sister of Grand Prince Wolsan.

After her father's death, in 1457 (the 3rd year of King Sejo's reign), the Princess, along with her mother and brothers lived outside the palace.

On December 19, 1466, she married Hong Sang (홍상) who was honoured as Prince Consort Dangyang (당양군).[6]

In 1470, after her younger brother, Grand Prince Jalsan, ascended the throne, her father was posthumously elevated to King Deokjong (덕종왕, 德宗王) and her mother was honoured as Queen Insu (인수왕비, 仁粹王妃), and later promoted to Queen Dowager (대비, 大妃).

The new King also honoured his sister as Princess Myeongsuk, formally called Princess Myeongui. She died on October 4, 1482, in the 13th year of the reign of her brother, Seongjong of Joseon, and he was very sad about it.
