Cheoljong (1831 - 1863) was the 25th king of the Korean Joseon Dynasty. On 1851, He married Lady Kim of Andong known posthumously as Queen Cheorin, a daughter of Kim Mun-geun who was a member of Andong-Kim clan.

He was the second-to-last king of Korea. He ascended to the throne in 1849 at the age of eighteen when the previous king Heonjong died without an heir. He died at the age of 32 in January of 1864, also without an heir.

Hanja name

The King's name in Hanja is 李昪. In Korean, it is Yi Byeon. However, in most Chinese materials, his name is often misrecognized as 李昇, which pronounces as Yi Seong. This is a very serious yet very popular error, as the character is a very rare word. , however, is a very common one. Therefore, we need to take care when searching.

  • Lord Yi Wonbeom, the 3rd son of Prince Jeon-gye, a great-grandson of King Yeongjo (1725-1776)
  • His Highness the Prince Deogwan of Korea, the heir presumptive to the throne (1849 - 1850)
