Goryeo rulers from Taejo (1st) to Wonjong (24th) should be emperors, not kings Goryeo used imperial titles and organizations until Mongols defeated them, and demoted it to kingdom status The only times Korean rulers were emperors were during pre Mongol Goryeo era (935~1274) and Korean Empire era at the end of Joseon (1897~1910)

For your information, Yi and Lee are the same last name. Lee is todays English standard and in Korean, it's still written and pronounced as "Yi". Side note: The first president of South Korea, Seung Man Rhee, is also a "Yi" or a "Lee". Rhee, Yi, Lee, same last name though they may be different lineages (or the same, you can't tell from just the name). The confusion just stems from Romanization of the Korean language. Ryu and Yoo are the same, Seo and Suh are the same, Park and Bak are the same, Choi and Chwe are all the same last names from different times. The former ones are todays standards

Great video as always, but few notes to add: Yi Seok is definitely one of the most famous claimants (as he was a singer), but Yi Won, as the adopted son of Prince Yi Gu - son of Crown Prince Yi Un and the previous head of House of Yi - is the one who is commonly recognized as the Prince by the House of Yi and the Korean public. Yi Won is the one who carries out the Royal confucian ceremonies in Jongmyo as of today. Even if the adoption is illegitimate (which was a common practice in Korean succession but illegal according to South Korean law), Yi Seok is the 10th son of Prince Yi Kang while Yi Won is the son of the 9th son of Prince Yi Kang, so Yi Won has a better claim under primogeniture law. Yi Seok has not released any information how Andrew Lee is related to him (Lee and Yi are the same). It's odd how Korean wikipedia lists Yi Won as the current head while English wiki lists Yi Seok instead. Successful propaganda perhaps? Haha

I think it's because as you said he is way more famous than Yi Won... Yi Seok had few tv appearances, what I heard he teaches the history of Korea in college and he seems to be very enthusiastic about his heritage while looking like a nice kind-hearted grandpa (like emperor Akihito type). In the end korean people do not really pay attention to any of royal descendants because after they got freed from Japan, they blamed them for handing over and younger korean generations do not want them because of USA propaganda where the most liberal country according to US is a republic with US army base on their ground.

Royal Ark that has an extensive genealogy of the Yi family doesn't know about this Andrew Lee who himself has only referred to his father being related to the family without further details. But like you pointed out, this crown prince mainly exists in English language media about Korea, and maybe it's fitting he picks some.distant American relative as his heir.

@@Vineyarding Yeah they didnt show the queen and only mentioned her once. In real life, his queen is named Hyoui I think, and she was actually a good/kind queen. Even treated the concubines (esp DI) better. I think they chose not to include her in the drama that way so the story would only focus on the love story between YiSan and Deok Im. It's hard to put the Queen in the picture and not create another drama or complication for their love line.

Interesting as the history tell us about King Cheoljong was not a really good King and did nothing for the Kingdom of Joseon,,, he even left a heir. How he was chosen to be produced such a good tb drama? I’m watching watching Mr. Queen (epi19) and he appears to be connected to the people. As he was a farmer,, he understood their needs... and because of this drama, I’m learning a lot about Korean history. How much the reality and the fiction is true? I want King CJ and Queen Cheorin to have a successful life.

So his great-grandfather could have been an Earl, while his grandmother is heir to the Earl title for being 1st born(Countess is the feminine counterpart), after she died she would have passed the Earlhood title to my husband's mother(she's also 1st born). So my husband would have been a Viscount but also a future Earl successor(since he's the 1st born)

The tragic life and death of Crown Prince Sado was mentioned in many drama. Dae Jang Geum took place during king Jungjong's reign in which Jo Gwangjo also mentioned several times. Dong Yi was a love story between King Sukjong and Choe Suk Bin. At this rate, I'll understand Korean history more than my own country's history. LoL

This is really great video. I just wanted to add some additional info: As you said Yeonsangun was one of worst king during choson period. Notice how his title ends with "gun" instead of "jo" or "jong". It means he was a king who was not worthy. There's another king with title "gun" btw. Called gwanghaegun. He was deemed not worthy as well at that time. But modern historians argue gwanghaegun might have actually been smart and practical king. He did not care for traditions and did what seemed right for choson. Many court officials wanted to stay royal to Ming since they viewed Ming dynasty as true successor worthy of being the Middle kingdom. But gwanghaegun being practical king, often changed its allegiance between Ming dynasty and Qing dynasty if it benefited Choson. This was viewed highly unorthodox at the time since Choson viewed manchu dynasties as savages. Thus gwanghaegun earned "gun" title

No problem! Specifically, "gun" is a title applied to all males with royal blood. Crown Princes, brothers of the king, other random princes, nephews, that guy that's descended from the king from over a 100 years ago, etc. Being given the "gun" title means that that king wasn't able to receive a temple name, which all kings, retired or not, get when they die. I'm honestly surprised that the last Emperors of Korea, Gojong and Sunjong didn't get the gun title. To be fair, the Imperial era did work differently from the Joseon era, so I guess there is a difference. And yes,Gwanghaegun was a pretty neat king. He started a massive rearmament program to repair damages done by the Japanese invasions. He was kicked out for not wanting to get involved in the war between the Ming and Qing, as the Joseon Army was still not up to full strength from the Japanese invasion. The Ming never recognized him as the king, and when Injo usurped him, the Ming certainly were happy. Injo continued to fight the Qing, and went on to be humiliated by the Qing when they inevitably won.

If i were to suggest the more accurate period dramas it would be: Jumong during the 1st 3 kingdoms period of korea Queen Seondeok for the Silla Kingdom Tree with deep roots/ Six flying dragons for the establishment of Joseon Dynasty (includes the reign of King Sejong the great) Rebel: Thief who stole the people during the reign of Yeonsangun the terrible and lastly Mr. Sunshine for the period during the fall of the korean dynasty to the Japanese there are many more but this what comes to mind.

After watching Jumong,Queen Seondeuk,Dongyi, Yisan, Dae Joyeong, six flying dragons,Jewel in the palace, Deep-rooted tree, I have so much interest in korean history. The actors can portray so well that I even name the actors' screen name instead of their real name. E.g. Han Hyo Joo as Dongyi, Song Il kook as Jumong. So I just watch Scarlet heart,Flower crew and Hwarang lightheartedly as these dramas has 30%history.

It was dubbed to Filipino, and I enjoyed staying up late at night watching it with my mom even though I understood nothing of the storyline. I always wanted my mom to do my hair like hers, but end up sad bc my hair was short.

I think I remember reading that the language of Goguryeo (the dominant kingdom prior to the unification by Silla) may have been closely related to Japanese, due to the few surviving words (mostly place names) that we have from that language. Also, the "Who would be king today?" section definitely made me think of the Korean manhwa and drama "Goong" which is based on that very same scenario.

Prince Yi Seok is the tenth son of Prince Yi Gang. The reason he gets attention is because he was once a notable singer. The Jeonju Lee Royal Family Association recognizes Yi Won as head of the house. Yi Won is a son of Yi Gap, Yi Gang' s ninth son. Yi Gang's oldest son was Prince Yi Geon, who died in 1991. He was a colonel in the Japanese army. He has several descendants living in Japan.

I'm very surprised that you know these stuff very well. It almost felt weird when you mentioned Cho Gwangjo during the Jungjong Period. Not something much expected to come out from a foreigner's mouth. Anyways, great work. Really appreciate it. One thing to say is that most of the monarch's name in Korea were given after the king's death. That's why you can see Taejo from two different dynasties because it just means "the Forefather", or the "the Great Ancestor" like you said. Another thing for people who are interested in Japanese emperors - usually called "Tenno" - is that these emperors don't really mean much throughout Japanese history with some exceptions. They were mostly puppet kings for the many noble houses and later for the Bakufu governments. So it's really weird to see these Tennos on the list rather than the real powers such as the Tokugawa house during the Edo period.

mostly because of strict rules over childhood. Every crown prince in Joseon discipled so hard and watched by eunuchs and courtladies 24/7 and being controlled in almost every way. They finally set loose once they became a king but still the strict rules of confucianism doesn't allow them to completely set free. I'd say the main reason why Korean kings usually die early is because of the stress and its side effect.

There is a king in the Joseon Dynasty who ends with a "gun" at the end, such as "Yonsan-gun" or "Gwanghae-gun," which means that these two were expelled from the throne. In fact, Yeonsan-gun lost his mind due to his mother's death, and he became the only crazy king of the Joseon Dynasty. The servants expelled the crazy king from the throne. So he was kicked out to the island, and eventually got sick and died. The will was 'I miss the Queen.' Gwanghaegun was not a crazy king. He was a man who took care of the people on behalf of the king during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, which was his crown prince, and made great efforts to rebuild the broken country. The Ming Dynasty, which had a close relationship with Joseon after he became king, began to weaken, and soon seemed to collapse with the advent of the latter. Gwanghae-gun will engage in neutral diplomacy between the Qing Dynasty (Hugeum) and the Ming Dynasty to prevent damage to Joseon. This was an unacceptable behavior in Joseon, which was founded around Confucianism. In addition, Gwanghaegun kills his stepbrother and stepmother. This is because their relationship was very bad and threatened their own throne. Crucially, however, Gwanghaegun is expelled from the throne. It was because he murdered his mother and brother and abandoned his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, Joseon officials drive him out. The reason he was expelled from the throne was that he did not follow Confucian doctrines. Well, looking at it like this, the power of the kings of the Joseon Dynasty seems very weak. However, the power of the king during the Joseon Dynasty was not as weak as expected. However, the power of bureaucrats was only able to become powerful.
