Yun Im

Yun Im (Korean: 윤임; Hanja: 尹任; 26 July 1487 – 30 August 1545) was a politician, general, and soldier of the Korean Joseon Dynasty. He was from the aristocratic family of the Papyeong Yun clan, and related to the Royal Jeonju Yi clan through his mother. He was the older brother of Queen Janggyeong. He was also known as part of DaeYun (Great Yun) versus SoYun (small Yun) close relatives of the DaeYun (allied closely by marriage to Queen Munjeong).

He was executed in the Eulsa Sahwa of 1545 during the conflict of the Daeyun and SoYun factions. (See also Yangjae Station Graffiti Incident of 1547)
