Hwigyeongwon is the grave of Subin Pak(1555~1613), who was a member of the harem of the King, and a mother of King Sunjo who is the 23d king of the Josun dynasty.
Her family origin is Bannam and her father is Ju-won Pak.
She was selected as a member of harem of King Jeongjo in 1787(the 11th year of King Jeongjo period).
She could be officialy confered with a title and live Gisungung right after she produced a princess, Sukseon. She is known as a person who observes the proprieties and who is very frugal.
She was dead in Bogyeongdang of Changdeok Palace on december of the 22nd year of the King Sunjo period.
The grave was located at mount Baebong outside of the East Gate and called Hwigyeongwon at first. But it was moved to the back of Sungangwon in 1855(the 6th year of the King Cheoljong period). And Finally, it was removed to the current place in 1863.
