"I only have one daughter and since you have been together for 27 years, there are no useless words, this is why I love you again and again."
"나에게는 딸이 하나밖에 없는데 그대가 27년이나 함께 하면서 쓸데없는 말이 생기지 않으니, 이것이 내가 그대를 거듭 사랑하는 까닭이다."— 《History of Goryeo》Volume 105〈Biographies〉Volume 18 - Jesin - Heogong - Heojong
