Biography

Lady Jo came from the Pungyang Jo clan. At the age of 17 (the 10th year of King Cheoljong's reign), she became a palace woman. On 22 February 1859, she became a royal consort of the gwiin () rank, and her first son, who died soon after birth, was born on 7 November 1859. On 15 January 1861, she gave birth to another prince.

Lady Jo died in 1865 (the 2nd year of Emperor Gojong's reign) and the funeral rites were held at the residence of her father-in-law, Grand Internal Prince Jeongye. Her tomb was initially in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province, but was later moved to the Seosamneung Cluster in Goyang.
