Dowager Queen Sunan of the Gaeseong Wang clan (Korean: 순안왕대비 왕씨; Hanja: 順安王大妃 王氏; lit. 'Grand Royal Consort Sunan') was a Goryeo Royal Princess as the only daughter of King Taejo and Lady Jeongmok.[4] "Sunan" means the name of Yeongju City in nowadays. The reason why she posthumously honoured as Dowager Queen (왕대비, 王大妃; "Wangdaebi")[5] was unknown since it was not recorded in Goryeosa.[6]
