Epilogue

There are four kings in Joseon who ascended to the throne through rebellion or rebellion.
Taejong Yi Bang-won, who started the Prince's Rebellion and became king, Sejo, who drove out his nephew Danjong, Jungjong, who became king through the Jungjong Restoration, and Injo, the main character of the Injo Restoration.
Among them, King Yeonsangun, who was driven out by the Jungjong Rebellion, is called a tyrant with many words and stories.
In particular, in the movie 'The King and the Clown', which recently attracted 10 million viewers, King Yeonsangun was portrayed as not only a tyrant but also a mad king, or a mad king.
However, the author of this article focuses on the question, 'Why did Yeonsangun have no choice but to become a tyrant?' while reinterpreting the evaluation of Yeonsangun depicted in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty.
There is also an opinion that Yeonsangun was a person who was destined to become king from birth, and after becoming king, he pursued a strong royal authority, and as a result, he eliminated the Hungu and Sarim factions that wielded power at the time.

In the Korean History Court of the Republic of Korea, “Why did King Yeonsangun become a tyrant?”, King Yeonsangun filed a lawsuit against Park Won-jong, the leader of the forces that staged the rebellion, for “treason against the state and defamation of his reputation.”
Here, Yeonsangun argues that the period when he carried out his politics harshly was the end of his reign, and that the Muosahwa and Gapjasahwa were also means to check the divine power that threatened the royal authority.
Let's meet again at the Korean Historical Court to learn the hidden story of King Yeonsangun, who has been branded a tyrant throughout history.
