The patriarch of the prestigious Yun clan and the father of Queen Dowager Yun, he is a man whose pride in his family runs deep. His confidence is not without reason; the Yun family has produced several queens, and its members hold influence across many fields of power.
Outwardly, he presents himself as a supporter of equality and progressive ideas. In truth, however, he is a staunch classist to the core. The shifting tides of the era unsettle him, as he knows the rigid social hierarchy that long protected noble families is beginning to crumble.
To preserve the status and privilege of the aristocracy, he believes the royal family must remain strong and firmly aligned with noble houses. For him, strengthening royal authority means safeguarding the wealth, advantages, and privileges his class has long enjoyed. That is why he cannot accept Grand Prince Yi’s decision to choose Seong Hui Ju as his future wife, a woman of common birth and illegitimate status. To him, allowing such a person to become a royal in-law is utterly unthinkable.
