Bakdal Year 3977 (2nd of King Jeongmyeong), March 19

A report reached the royal court that the sole daughter of Hyungam Yoo Suhong of Dalbeol had tragically ended her own life, plunging a blade into her neck after a harsh reprimand from her father. The king, perplexed by Hyungam's apparent indifference to his daughter's demise, invoked the wisdom of the Great Learning's eight aims and commanded the Royal Investigation Bureau to delve into the matter. In a display of regal resolve, the king himself presided over the tribunal, unearthing the sordid truth behind the scandal involving Hyungam Yoo Suhong's concubine. Justice was meted out to the guilty with unwavering hand. Addressing his officials, the king declared, "This insolent tradition of besmirching the throne must be eradicated."
