![]() ![]() I judge a version of Jang Hee Bin by a lot of stuff, but the 2 most important ones are the arrow scene and the poison scene. Lady Jang’s image has slowly changed from a jealous femme fatale, to an intelligent, scheming lady, to a cold, restrained political figure, and most recently, a fashion designer. There’ve been 2 movies and 7 dramas about Lady Jang, which gives a total of 9 interpretations over 52 years. Now that I’ve given you the history, let’s get to why I made this post in the first place. Her title was Lady Oksan, Great Concubine of the Palace, Prefectural Great Concubine of the Indong Jang Clan (대빈궁옥산부대빈장씨). She had 1 child King Gyeongjong, and was given a title, although she died a criminal. Upon arriving there, he caught Lady Jang and her brother, Jang Hee Jae (장희재), striking figurines of the poor Queen with arrows! She was sentenced to death by poison (사약), and died in 1701. When Queen Inhyeon died of an unknown illness, the King had a dream of the late Queen in a bloodstained dang-ui (당의) (robe for Royal Ladies), who pointed towards Lady Jang’s chamber. Lady Jang, angry at her demotion, summoned shamans to kill and denounce the Queen. Her short tenure came to an end when his new concubine, Choi Suk Bin (최숙빈), requested for her return, and reinstated her. Lady Jang then ascended to the role of Queen. She held political power that she used to control her political party, the Soron (소론) (a division of the Western faction), successfully expelling Queen Inhyeon from the palace. Her jealousy began to show, and she was involved in many conspiracies, including the death of Queen Myeongseong, and her general ferocity in court. However, Queen Inhyeon (인현왕후), Sukjong’s 2nd Queen, begged the King to bring her back, and the King agreed.Īs Ok Jeong returned, she was promoted to Suk Won (숙원), So-ui (소의), and eventually Hui Bin (희빈). ![]() Because of this, she was expelled from the palace by Sukjong’s mother, Queen Myeongseong (명성왕후) (Not to be confused with Empress Myeongseong (명성황후)) for breaking Palace Rules. According to some records, while projecting a humble yet determined personality on the outside, she was a jealous, scheming court lady on the inside. Noted for her beauty in the Records of the Joseon Dynasty (조선왕조 실록), she was noticed by the King, and was promoted from a Na-in (나인) to a Sanggung (상궁). She was appointed as a court lady (궁녀) under Queen Jangryeol (장렬대비), Grand Queen Dowager (대왕대비) and grandmother of King Sukjong (숙종). I know that this has been done again and again, and I maybe, technically have already done it in my post about Jang Hee Bin 1961, but I just felt like I had to do it.Ĭonsort Hui of the Jang Clan (희빈 장씨), also known as Jang Ok Jeong (장옥정), Jang Ok Nan (장옥난), Queen Bu-ok of the Jang Clan (부옥 중궁전 장씨), or just simply Jang Hee Bin (장희빈), was born to Jang Hyeong (장형) and Mrs Yun (윤씨) (Apparently, nobody bothered to record her name.).
