Jinseong (865–898), personal name Kim Man, was the fifty-first ruler of the Korean kingdom, Silla from 887 to 897.[1] She was also Silla's third and last reigning queen after Seondeok and Jindeok. Her reign saw the weakening of Unified Silla and the beginning of the Later Three Kingdoms period. According to her older brother Jeonggang, she was smart by nature and tall like a man.[2]

Life

[edit]

Jinseong was the only daughter of King Gyeongmun and Queen Munui. Being the younger sister of Heongang and Jeonggang, she rose to the throne when both of her brothers died without issue. When King Jeonggang was dying in 887, he appointed his sister Jinseong as his heir, justifying the choice of a female monarch by pointing at Seondeok's and Jindeok's successful reigns.[2] Though Seondeok and Jindeok's successful reigns were invoked to help Jinseong secure the throne, Silla's third queen regnant ultimately did not live up to the expectations of her predecessors.[3]

Reign

[edit]

According to the Samguk sagi, Jinseong did licentious conduct that bringing attractive men into the palace and committing lewd acts with them.[3] She also carried on an affair with the high commander (Gakgan) Kim Wi-hong [ko]. But in the Gyeongju Kim clan's jokbo, it states that the young Queen married Kim Wi-hong in 880. Kim was the Queen's paternal uncle and the couple had three sons. The Samguk sagi was written by Confucianists, who held a negative view of female rule, so the precise details therein should perhaps not be taken at face value.

In contrast, according to the records of Ch'oe Ch'i-wŏn, she was a good-hearted monarch with no greed, who accepted his various recommendations to reform the government of Silla to prevent its downfall.[3]

During her reign, public order collapsed. Taxes could no longer be collected and the military conscription system failed. Taking advantage of this domestic disarray, Yang Gil in the northwest and Kyŏn Hwŏn in the southwest rebelled and founded their own kingdoms, reviving the fallen states of Goguryeo and Baekje as Later Goguryeo and Later Baekje respectively.

In 895, Jinseong appointed Heongang's illegitimate son Kim Yo as Crown Prince. On June, 897, she abdicated the throne and later died on December, 897. She was buried to the north of Sajasa temple in Gyeongju.
