[KS] Re: More on HKT

[Mickey Hong]

Mea culpa.

Double checked the source & I got confused when the author used the modification
chaku^n to describe the brother & sister.  Ho^ Yo^p had 3 sons & 3 daughters & Ho^
Kyun was the youngest.  The age gap between Hyo^ Pong, the older brother (chaku^n
hyo^ng), of 18 years added to the confusion.

Does anyone know, then, when the oldest brother of Ho^ Kyun was born & if his
mother was also that of K & P.  Trying to get a full sense of the Ho^ family
dynamic.
