Heo Hwang-ok
Heo Hwang-ok (Korean: 허황옥; Hanja: 許黃玉; 32–189AD) also known as Empress Boju (보주태후; 普州太后), was a legendary queen mentioned in the Samguk yusa, a 13th-century Korean chronicle. According to the Samguk yusa, she became the wife of King Suro of Geumgwan Gaya (part of the Kaya confederacy) at the age of 16, after having arrived by boat from a distant kingdom called "Ayuta (阿踰陁)" with many theorizing it to be located in India, Thailand or Central Asia (i.e. Tibet). There is a tomb in Gimhae, South Korea, that is believed to be hers, and a memorial in Ayodhya, India, built in 2020. Read more on Wikipedia
