Yun Wà Ânhyà Âng (; 1509 â November 18, 1565) was a Korean political figure of the Joseon period. He was the younger brother of Queen Munjeong, the 3rd wife of the 11th King Jungjong of Joseon and was the maternal uncle of the 13th King Myeongjong.
He was Chief State Councillor from 1563 to 1565. His courtesy name was à Ânp'yà Âng (). In 1565, after the death of Queen Munjeong, both Yun and his wife, Jeong Nan-jeong, were exiled from the capital. Unable to make a political comeback, both committed suicide by poison.
In 1509, Yun Wà Ânhyà Âng was born as the fourth son and youngest child of Yun Chiim and Lady Yi of the Jeonui Yi clan. He was the younger brother of Queen Munjeong and a third cousin of Queen Janggyeong and Yun Im. He was also the great-great-grandnephew of Queen Jeonghui, who was the wife of Sejo of Joseon, the 7th King of Joseon. At 2-years-old, Yun's mother died.
Yun was a political figure from an aristocratic family and had a maternal relation to the royal family of the Joseon Dynasty. His family was of the Papyeong Yun clan (). His niece, Royal Noble Consort Suk, the daughter of his brother Yun Wonryang, later became a concubine to King Injong.
In March 1515, Jungjong's second wife, Queen Janggyeong died and Jungjong formally married Yun Wà Ânhyà Âng's older sister, Lady Yun, to be the new Queen Consort. Their son was Grand Prince Gyeongwon (the future King Myeongjong).
In 1533, Yun Wà Ânhyà Âng passed the national examinations, and was appointed to the literature department of Byeol to become an officer. While pursuing an officer position, Yun also sought to make his nephew, Grand Prince Gyeongwon, the next king of Joseon. Yun was temporarily exiled for his actions but came back in 1544. He ran into some conflicts with two relatives who were officials: Yun Im and Kim Allo.
This made for a difficult situation since Kim Allo's granddaughter (the daughter of Princess Hyohye and his son, Kim Hà Âi) had married Yun Wà Ânhyà Âng's own nephew, Yun Paekwà Ân. Also, Yun Im was the maternal uncle of Injong and the older brother of Queen Janggyeong.
In 1543, King Jungjong died. In 1545, King Injong died. Yun Wà Ânhyà Âng killed his opponents and relatives who supported his third cousin, among these being Yun Im. Later, his brother Yun Wollo was killed (the Eulsa massacre). In 1546, he controlled political powers. In 1547, he became Minister of Personnel (Ijo P'ansà Â), in 1551 Left State Councillor, and in 1563, Chief State Councillor.
When Queen Munjeong died in 1565, he lost all political power. This caused him and his second wife, Jeong Nan-Jeong to commit suicide.
