Kim Yushin - Family

Family

Kim Yusin had two sisters, Kim Bohee and Kim Munhee (Hangul: 김문희, Hanja: 金文姬). Kim Munhee, later known as Queen Munmyeong (Hangul: 문명왕후, Hanja: 文明王后), married Yusin's childhood friend King Muyeool of Silla, who is credited for having led the unification of the Korean peninsula under Silla. Muyeol and Munmyeong were the parents of King Munmu of Silla and Kim Inmun.

Kim Yushin's wife, Lady Jiso (智炤夫人), was the third daughter of King Muyeol of Silla. Yushin had ten children. His second son, Kim Wonsul, would later play a central role in completing the independence of Silla from the Tang Dynasty.
