Hwang Jini or Hwang Jin-yi (Korean: 황진이; 1506–1567), also known by her kisaeng name Myeongwol ("bright moon", 명월), was one of the most famous kisaeng of the Joseon period. She lived during the reign of King Jungjong. She was noted for her exceptional beauty, charming quick wit, extraordinary intellect, and her assertive and independent nature.[1][2][3] She has become an almost myth-like figure in modern Korea, inspiring novels, operas, films, and television series.
A crater on Venus, Hwangcini, is named after her.[4]
