Prince Hyoeun, personal name Wang Wŏn or Wang Suk, also known by his title Prince Dongyang and Grand Prince Dongyang was a prince of Goryeo.^[3] He was the youngest son of Taejo of Goryeo and Lady Dongyangwon,^[4] and the 15th son of Taejo overall. Through his descendant, Wang Mi (1365 – ?), ninety percent of the modern day Kaesong Wang clan trace their lineage to Prince Hyoeun.^[5] He was the first grandson of Yu Tal who served as the Minister of Works .

Later life

He later was executed by his older half-brother, Wang So due to his ferocious personality and he also secretly had different thoughts with people of insignificance. Wang So also said that Hyoeun had a violent temperament and the intention of plotting a rebellion. Both of his sons, Wang Rim and Wang Chŏng whom at this time were too young, escaped from death and fled, hiding in a private house to survive.
