On 10 December 1622, in Lunar calendar, Grand Prince Inp'yŏng was born as the son of
Prince Neungyang, the grandson of
Seonjo. He entered the palace after his father became the king by coup in 1623. In 1629, Inp'yŏng became grand prince. He had his marriage in 1634, age of 12 with Lady Oh of the Dongbok Oh clan who was the second daughter of Oh Dan, one of the officials of Injo. After the
Qing invasion of Joseon, Grand Prince Inp'yŏng with
Crown Prince Sohyeon, and
Grand Prince Bongrim were sent to
Qing dynasty. Like his brothers, Inp'yŏng was repeatedly being sent back to Joseon. Because of this, Inp'yŏng got great stress, and got serious illness. The visits to Qing for Inp'yŏng did not end after the death of
Injo of Joseon. During the reign of
Hyojong of Joseon, Inp'yŏng was again sent to Qing as an ambassador. But, the public opinion of Inp'yŏng was only worsen. Officials argued that Inp'yŏng is trying to get hospitality by visiting the Qing Dynasty a lot.
Song Si-yeol was angry on how
Hyojong was against his father's advice of taking care of Inp'yŏng but, sending him as an ambassador to the tiger cave (which meant the
Qing dynasty). In 1658, with the illness that Inp'yŏng got while visiting Qing dynasty a lot, he died on 13 May 1658 (Lunar Calendar).
Hyojong weeped for his younger brother which made him want to stay at Inp'yŏng's house too long to the point his officials had to come back to the palace. Hyojong eventually came back to the palace. == Family ==
