Queen Myeongseong (13 June 1642 – 21 January 1684) (명성왕후 김씨) of the Cheongpung Kim clan, was a posthumous name bestowed to the wife and queen consort of Yi Yeon, King Hyeonjong, the 18th Joseon monarch. She was Queen consort of Joseon from 1659 until her husband's death in 1674, after which she was honoured as Queen Dowager Hyeonryeol (현렬왕대비). She was a wise and intelligent figure, but her fierce personality was said to be the reason why her husband did not have any concubine. The Southerners mocked her as a reincarnation of Queen Munjeong because of her intervention in the politics.
