The future Consort Hwa was born as the daughter of Hong-Tak, Internal Prince Ikseong (홍탁 익성부원군),[1] son of Hong-Seon (홍선) from the Namyang Hong clan and Lady Gwon (부인 권씨), daughter of Gwon-Jun, Internal Prince Gilchang (권준 길창부원군) from the Andong Gwon clan. She had:
Her paternal great-great-grandfather was Hong Baek-su (홍백수), the younger brother of Hong Bok-won (홍복원) who was surrendered to Mongolian side during the long war between Korea and Mongolia. King Chungsuk's 5th wife, Consort Su was her maternal cousin.[2]
Firstly, her father, Hong-Tak was an ambassador from Gyeongsang Province (경상도진변사; 慶尙道鎭邊使) and when King Chunghye heard her beauty, he then gave Hong-Tak clothes and alcohol, also bestowed Royal title Splendid Consort (화비; 和妃) to Lady Hong in 1342.[3] At this time, the King's other consort, Lady Im who entered the palace two years earlier than Hong fell jealous and then the King appointed Im as Princess Euncheon (은천옹주; 銀川翁主) to comforted her.

As a result, they didn't have any issue. According to Goryeosa, in 1343, Chunghye visited Hong's house again.
