懷墓, Royal burial plot in Goyang, South Korea

Hoemyo (懷墓) is the tomb of Deposed Queen Yun, mother of King Yeonsan, within the Seosamneung grounds in Wonsin-dong, Deogyang-gu, Goyang. It follows early Joseon tomb style: a grass-covered burial mound with a stone screen, and a pair of civil official statues (muninseok) and a pair of military official statues (muinseok) among its stone figures.

Lady Yun, the deposed queen and mother of King Yeonsan, was executed on 16 August 1482 and buried in Jangdan County. In 1504 Yeonsan had her remains moved to Hwigi-dong in Seoul and raised the tomb to the status of a royal mausoleum, Hoereung. After the 1506 coup that deposed him, the title was revoked and the tomb demoted to Hoemyo. It was moved to its present site in the Seosamneung grounds on 25 October 1969.

The name Hoegmyo (懷墓) means "tomb of longing": Yeonsan-gun, son of Deposed Queen Yun, chose the character hoe (懷, longing or embrace) to express a child's yearning for his mother. The tomb's name changes also gave Hwigi-dong in Seoul its name, from Hoereung-dong to Hoemyo-dong and finally Hoegi.

The tomb lies within the Seosamneung grounds in Wonsin-dong, Deogyang-gu, Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, reached from Goyang rather than central Seoul. The stone figures and mound stand on uneven ground, so sturdy shoes help. The name Hwigi-dong in Seoul's Dongdaemun District recalls the tomb's former site there before its 1969 move.

The name Hwigi-dong in Seoul comes from this tomb: when the grave was raised to a royal tomb it gave the district the name Hoereung-dong, later Hoemyo-dong, and the characters were eventually changed to Hwigi. The tomb was moved from there to Seosamneung in 1969.
