Biography

The future queen was born on 25 October 1661 during the reign of King Hyeonjong. Her name was Kim Ok-hye (김옥혜, 金玉惠).

Her father was Kim Man-gi^[2] and her mother was member of the Cheongju Han clan.^[3] Kim Jang-saeng is her great-great grandfather and Kim Jib is her great-granduncle through her father. She is also first cousin thrice removed with Queen Inseon.

She was married at the age of 10 to Hyeonjong's only son, Crown Prince Myeongbo, entitling her as crown princess consort (왕세자빈, wangsejabin). In 1674, her husband ascended to the throne as the 19th Joseon monarch (temple name: Sukjong) and she became queen consort.

In 1677, she gave birth to a daughter who eventually died a year later on 13 March 1678. In 1679, the Queen gave birth to another daughter but she died prematurely a day later. In the summer of 1680, she had been pregnant, but due to an incident she had a miscarriage.

On 8 December 1680, age 19, she showed signs of smallpox and died 8 days later in Gyeongdeok Palace (now known as Gyeonghui Palace). She is buried in Ikreung (익릉) in Gyeonggi province.
