Myohyeonrye is a ritual in the Joseon Dynasty where the queen or crown princess, after their wedding, paid respects at Jongmyo, where the spirit tablets of past kings and queens are enshrined. It is the only Jongmyo ritual in which women participated, giving it special significance.

This event will highlight Queen Inwon, the third queen of King Sukjong. A creative musical based on the 1703 Myohyeonrye will be presented. The ritual scene will be reenacted to convey the deep affection between Queen Inwon and her father, Kim Jushin.
