Relations with the Royal Family
Song Jun-gil's family line from his second daughter had made him the maternal grandfather of Min Jin-hu, Min Jin-won, Queen Inhyeon, and Min Jin-yeong. He eventually became the 7th half great-grandfather of Grand Internal Princess Consort Sunmok, 5th great-grandfather of Empress Myeongseong and the 6th great-grandfather of Empress Sunmyeong. As Empress Myeongseong became queen, she kept close connections to her 5th great-grandmother's, Lady Eunseong and her 4th great-grandmother's family. She made the U-bok the grandson of Jeong Gyeong-se in which the Eunjin Song clan and the Jinju Jeong clan were favored during Gojong's reign as they were also his relatives.[1]
