Yuhwa

Yuhwa

Yuhwa (Hangul: 유화부인, Hanja: 柳花夫人) (? - ?) was known as the mother of King Dongmyeong, the first king and the founder of the northernmost of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, Goguryeo. She was the daughter of the Habaek river god.

She was confronted by Hae Mosu while she was bathing in a river, and eventually she married him without her father's permission. She was then exiled to Dongbuyeo, where King Geumwa found her and took her in as his concubine.

When she was exposed to sunlight, Yuhwa gave birth to an egg, which later turned into Jumong. Lady Yuhwa was given the posthumous title of Queen after her death.
