Wolseong Palace Site Wigimhansin Tomb

This is the tomb of Kim Han-sin (1720–1758), posthumously honoured as Jeonghyogong, a civil official of the late Joseon period. In 1732, at the age of thirteen, he married King Yeongjo's second daughter, Princess Hwasun, and was invested with the title Lord Wolseong. He served in posts including Commander of the Five Military Divisions and Superintendent of the Office of Ceremonial Dress. Skilled in calligraphy and accomplished in poetry and prose, he wrote many eulogies and posthumous-title documents, and was also highly skilled in seal carving, even engraving royal seals. When he died at the young age of thirty-eight, Princess Hwasun's grief was so extreme that she soon followed him in death. The tomb now contains the remains of both Kim Han-sin and Princess Hwasun, buried together.
