In [[Joseon]] society, ''won'' ({{ko-hhrm|hangul=원|hanja=冤|mr=wŏn}}) described intense negative emotions, often distress, that came from feelings of injustice. ''Won'' played an integral role in justice, lawmaking, and daily life in Joseon Korea. ''Won'' allowed people of different classes and genders to gain justice through the legal system, breaking down gender, social, and economic barriers in Joseon Korea. Judges considered a person's ''won'' in courts of law, with their main goal often being to relieve a person's ''won'' to administer justice. ''Won'' was perceived as a universal sentiment that every person could feel, regardless of background, thus creating a sense of universal equality in Joseon.
