Yasokjin, Consort Ui (Korean야속진 의비; Hanja也速眞 懿妃; died 1316) was a Mongol-born woman who became the second wife of King Chungseon of Goryeo. Although she was a Mongol ethnic, she was not a member of the Yuan imperial clan.[2] As her second son was born in 1294, it seems like she became Chungseon's consort before that.[3] She died in 1316 (3rd year of her son's reign) whilst in Yuan. On her death, she was granted the posthumous name of Royal Consort Ui, by which she was more commonly known.[4][2]
