Chung Nanjung

Chung Nanjung or Jung Nan-Jung (hangul: 정난정; hanja: 鄭蘭貞, ? - November 13, 1565) was a Korean (Joseon Dynasty) politician and philosopher. She was a concubine and the 2nd wife of Yun Won-hyung, Prime minister and 13th King Myeongjong's uncle, and was close to her sister-in-law Queen Munjeong. She had Yun Won-hyung's first wife poisoned to death. In 1565, after the death of Queen Munjeong, both Chung and Yun were exiled from the capital, and unable to make a political comeback, both committed suicide by poison (Chung first,[1] followed by her husband[2])
