✨ AI-generatedWelcome to Jangneung, a tomb with a remarkable story about honor restored. Here lies King Wonjong and his wife, Queen Inheon. Wonjong was the fifth son of King Seonjo and father of King Injo—a crucial link in the royal family line. But his life ended under a cloud: his royal title was downgraded to prince. Yet ten years after his death, his title was restored, and the tomb was renamed Jangneung to reflect his rightful status. Walk around the graves and you'll notice something distinctive: the king and queen rest side by side, protected by stone but without the ornate screens other royal tombs display. The T-shaped shrine, marked by a sign from 1753, stands as testimony to his restored honor. This tomb embodies a deeply Korean value—that dignity can be reclaimed, even after death.
