Queen Janghwa (? - c.934 or 943) was the second wife of Taejo of Goryeo and the mother of Hyejong of Goryeo who was the second king of Goryeo.
She is a descendant of the Chinese royal family who came to Korea in the age of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. One of her ancestors was Oh Cheom (Hangul:오첨, Hanja:呉膺) who came to Korea in the age of Jijeung of Silla. Oh Cheom had two sons and one daughter in Silla, but he decided to leave Silla. His younger son was too small to go back China with his father, so Oh Cheom left his younger son, Oh Eung(Hangul:오응, Hanja:呉膺) in Silla. Oh Eung’s descendant, Oh Da-ryeon (Hangul:오다련, Hanja:呉多憐) helped Taejo to establish Goryeo. Queen Janghwa is daughter of Oh Da-ryeon.
