Joosin Kim
Joosin Kim – Father-in-law of King Sukjong chosen to live a thrift life of classical scholar
1661 – 1721. Civil servant in the late Joseon Dynasty.
“I am the father-in-law of the king. I am not the king.” Joosin Kim was the father-in-law of the king Sukjong. However, he was afraid of being involved in personal matters, Joosin Kim did not even enter the palace. In addition, he did not participate in royal relative politics at all. He left many of the books and led a life of classical scholar who did not care of promotion in the social class. In fact, the house where he lived was so simple that anyone lying on the floor could see the stars in the sky, and the size was small even if it was where the father-in-law of the king lived. This is the reason why the life of Joosin Kim, the father-in-law of the king Sukjong, was re-examined in the history of politics of Korea where all the former presidents were related to corruption with those on their sides.
