Buried in the tomb is Gongbin Kim, a concubine of King Seonjo, the 14th king of the Joseon Dynasty. She gave birth to King Gwanghaegun, who ascended the throne. Born in the 8th year of the reign of King Myeongjong, she passed away in the 10th year of the reign of King Seonjo (1577). Compared to other royal tombs, it is quite large and well-decorated. Around the tomb are many stone decorations including stone figures of scholars and soldiers. No epitaph on her tombstone is left, however.
