In of the Suwon Kim clan

Inbin Kim (; 31 March 1555 – 30 November 1613), or Concubine In, of the Suwon Kim clan, was a consort of Seonjo of Joseon and the biological grandmother of King Injo.

Life

Early life Lady Kim was born in the Suwon Kim clan as the daughter of Kim Han-u and his wife. Her maternal grandfather was of the royal Jeonju Yi clan as a descendant of Grand Prince Hyoryŏng, King Taejong's second son; this made Lady Kim a distant cousin of King Seonjo. Her elder sister's daughter later became Sowon Shin, a relatively low-ranked consort of Gwanghaegun.

Royal consort Concubine Gyeong, one of Lady Kim's cousins, who was a consort of King Myeongjong, raised her in the palace. Lady Kim caught the eye of King Seonjo's adoptive mother, Queen Insun, who recommended her to the king as a consort. In 1573, Lady Kim was appointed as a royal consort of the junior fourth rank (숙원; 淑媛; sugwon), Lady Kim defended Gwanghaegun later in life, although her relationship with his biological mother, the late Concubine Gong, hadn't been good in their youth.

Death Lady died on 30 November 1613, aged 58, during Gwanghaegun's reign.
