Queen Hyosun (Korean: 효순왕후 조씨; 8 January 1716 – 30 December 1751), of the Pungyang Jo clan, was the crown princess of Joseon. She was never known by the title queen during her lifetime.[1] Both Hyosun and her husband were posthumously made the adoptive parents of the future King Jeongjo in 1764, in an attempt to distance the boy from the crimes of his birth father, Crown Prince Sado.[2] She was posthumously called as Hyosun, the Bright Empress (효순소황후; 孝純昭皇后).
