[KS] RE: More on HKT

[kimrenau]

I am not sure where Mickey Hong got the information, but as far as I know, HO 
Kyun was a _tongbok_ (of the same father and the same mother) of his talented 
siblings, HO Pong and HO NansOrhOn. Their mother was a second wife (huch'O) 
but not a secondary wife (ch'Op).  Their mother was a yangban (a KangnUng Kim) 
and a daughter of a Yejo p'ansO (Minister of Rites).  Ho NansOrhon married an 
Andong Kim, another illustrious yangban, something she presumably could not 
do, were she a sOnyO (less than a full yangban).  Her brother HO Pong and her 
father-in-law are said to have been friends, who arranged her marriage with 
her husband Kim SOngnip.
