Royal Noble Consort Hwa of the Namwon Yun clan (; 19 May 1765 – 14 January 1824) was a concubine of King Jeongjo of Joseon.[2]
Lady Yun was born into the Namwon Yun clan, on May 19, 1765. She was the only child of Yun Chang-yun and his wife, Lady Yi of the Beokjin Yi clan.
On February 21, 1780, Queen Dowager Yesun announced the selection for a new concubine for her step-grandson, King Jeongjo, because his primary wife, Queen Hyoui, couldn't bear any children and his first concubine, Lady Hong Won-bin, died one year prior. The selection took place from 30 February until 9 March.
On March 10, 1780, when she was 15 years old, Lady Yun became a concubine of the Bin rank, with the prefix "Hwa" (和), meaning "peace” or “harmony". She was alternatively known as Lady Gyeongsu .[3]
In the Joseon Dynasty records, it stated that she conceived a princess in 1781 but her pregnancy was an imaginary one.
Royal Noble Consort Hwa died without issue, on September 14, 1824 (the 24th year of King Sunjo's reign). She was buried in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.
