===Consorts and issue===
Sejong and his primary consort Soheon had ten children together: the most for any queen consort of the Joseon period.{{Sfnp|Yi|2007|p=21}} Historian Lee Han argues it is unclear if their relationship had genuine love{{Importance inline|reason="Love" needs to be defined, as the concept evolved over time. It may not be important enough to deserve a mention in this page.|date=June 2024}}; while they had numerous children together, and there is evidence of the two caring for and treating each other respectfully, Taejong had the queen's father executed, and Sejong dutifully consented to this.{{Sfnp|Yi|2007|p=19–21}}{{Unbalanced opinion|reason=Whether Sejong "dutifully consented" or merely did not challenge his father is unclear. To make such a bold word choice, a better source is needed.|date=June 2024}}
