Grand Internal Princess Consort Sunmok (Korean: 순목부대부인; Hanja: 純穆府大夫人; 9 March 1818 – 8 January 1898[a]), known before as Grand Internal Princess Consort Yeoheung (여흥부대부인; 驪興府大夫人), was a Korean noblewoman who became a Joseon dynasty royal family member through her marriage with Internal Prince Heungseon, and was the biological mother of Emperor Gojong of Korea.
When her son became Emperor, she was formally honored as Grand Primary Consort Sunmok (순목대원비; 純穆大院妃) in 1907 and therefore that was called Grand Internal Queen Consort Sunmok (순목대원왕비; 純穆大院王后) or Queen Sunmok (순목왕비; 純穆王后). It is said that she was a Catholicism believer, read the Ilgwamun (일과문; 日課文) and gave a thanksgiving mass at Unhyeongung.[3] When Catholicism was allowed by the Treaty of Korean and France in 1887, she was baptized in October 1896.
