Lady Seongmu of the Pyeongsan Bak clan[1] (Korean성무부인 박씨; Hanja聖茂夫人 朴氏) was the daughter of Bak Ji-yun, one of Wang Geon's helper in founding the new Goryeo dynasty who became the 26th wife of Taejo of Goryeo.[2] She gave birth to 4 sons[3] and a daughter who later married King Gyeongsun of Silla,[4][5] but all of her sons died young without left any issue.
