Biography edit

The future Royal Consort Sug-ui was born as the daughter of Shin Seon-gyeong and Lady Han of the Cheongju Han clan. Her birth date is unknown.

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]

In 1457, the Crown Prince passed away and left no issue with the consort.

When her husband was honored as King, Lady Shin was promoted to the 2nd junior rank concubine of the King (숙의; 淑儀) as Royal Consort Sug-ui.

She died on May 16, 1476 (lunar calendar), during the 7th year of King Seongjong's reign.
