Title of the work; 'Hot Summer' from Eoudong 5 Author; Shin Bong-seung Publisher; Cheong-eo The biggest sex scandal in Joseon Dynasty! Hello? This is Genie. Today, I will tell you about 'Hot Summer' from among the many episodes included in 'Eoudong' by Shin Bong-seung. For the life of Eoudong, please refer to [Eoudong's Life] below to help readers understand. During the reign of King Seongjong of Joseon Dynasty, Eoudong's case surfaced as a major social issue, and Eoudong eventually sensed that punishment by the government was inevitable. The story of 'Hot Summer' that I will read today is about Eoudong's love affair with Han Chi-rye, the younger brother of Queen Insu, who felt threatened, in order to secure his safety. He grabs Lee Seung-eon, who lives next door and is deeply in love with Eoudong, and makes a promise to meet Han Chi-rye. This is an episode that gives us a glimpse into her lust for men. Now, let’s join her in the story. I hope you have a comfortable time. [Eou-dong’s Life] She was born around 1440 in a noble family in Eumseong-hyeon, Chungcheong-do (currently Eumseong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do) and grew up well. Her father was Park Yun-chang, the governor of Seungmunwon, her mother was Jeong Gwi-deok, and her older brother was Park Seong-geun. She married Dong (仝), a descendant of the royal family, Taegangsu (泰江守), but Lee Dong did not like his wife, and in the 7th year of King Seongjong’s reign (1475), Lee Dong falsely accused his wife Eou-dong of having an affair with Eun Jang-i, who had come to their house, with the intention of divorcing her. The investigation found that she was false, so she was temporarily stripped of her title and ordered to reunite with Eou-dong, but he ignored her and kicked her out. Aubrey, who was absurdly beaten and became single, returned to her parents’ home. From this time on, he had relationships with the royal family including Susansu and Bangsansu, the yangban including Hongchan, who passed the state examination, and other commoners and slaves without distinction, and spread scandals. One of them reported this to the Office of the Inspector General, and Eoudong was hanged along with the female servant who committed the crime. The reason Eoudong's record was left in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty was because among the men she had affairs with were many high-ranking officials and their children. Furthermore, it was revealed that royal family members who were cousins ​​had affairs with Eoudong. It is said that the scandal at the time was huge because a yangban woman had affairs with about 10 commoners and slaves. Therefore, when the court learned of this fact, they originally tried to cover it up for the sake of the royal family and the upper class. However, Doseungji Kim Gye-chang was furious and strongly suggested punishment, saying that covering up such a fact would only spread bad rumors, and Seongjong accepted this. Eoudong ended up hanging, so his family was not implicated. It is said that Awu-dong left behind a daughter named Beon-jwa, but this became a hot topic because the father of this daughter was unknown. Since her family was not implicated, there is no record of what happened to her daughter Beon-jwa afterward, but considering her origins and the aftermath of the incident, it seems that she did not have a very good life. .....Source [Wikipedia] #GenieRadio #KoreanShortStories #OldStories #ListeningToWhenYouGoToSleep #WomanReadingBooks [Timeline] 00:00:13 Intro 00:01:29 Story Text
