Prince Hyoeun ( Korean: 효은태자; Hanja: 孝隱太子), personal name Wang Wŏn (왕원; 王垣) or Wang Suk (왕숙; 王肅), also known by his title Prince Dongyang (동양군; 東陽君) and Grand Prince Dongyang (동양대군; 東陽大君) was a prince of Goryeo. [3] He was the youngest son of Taejo of Goryeo and Lady Dongyangwon, [4] and the 15th son of Taejo overall. Through his descendant, Wang Mi (왕미; 王亹, 1365 – ?), ninety percent of the modern day Kaesong Wang clan trace their lineage to Prince Hyoeun. [5][ page needed] He was the first grandson of Yu Tal (유달) who served as the Minister of Works (공부상서). [3]
He later was executed by his older half-brother, Wang So due to his ferocious personality and he also secretly had different thoughts with people of insignificance. Wang So also said that Hyoeun had a violent temperament and the intention of plotting a rebellion.[ citation needed] Both of his sons, Wang Rim (왕림) and Wang Chŏng (왕정) whom at this time were too young, escaped from death and fled, hiding in a private house to survive.
