Sin Saimdang is on the 50,000 won bill and her son is on the 5,000 won bill

Mother and son. Both on Korean currency. Name another family that pulled that off. I'll wait. She was a painter, poet, and calligrapher while raising 7 children in the 1500s. Her son Yi I grew up to become one of the most important Confucian scholars in Korean history. People spent centuries debating whether she's famous because of her son or her son is famous because of her. The answer is both. They were just built different.
