Chung Nanjung

Chung Nanjung (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, she as well as her husband were put to death by Myeongjong.

In fiction

The 2016 MBC 50-episode TV drama The Flower in Prison, that mixes in some historical narrative with some fiction, features Park Joo-mi as Chung Nanjung. Some of the historically correct facts included: her relationship with Yun won-hyung, her proximity to the queen, and her poisoning of Yun won-hyung's first wife.[1][2][3][4]
