Episode 11🔥 Perfect Crown🔥The shocking truth you never knew... | Pre release

Added: 2026-05-15

[00:00:00]In Perfect Crown, the father struck his son. Young I-hwan had only borrowed and worn the Crown Prince’s dragon robe, yet he received not  a single word of praise, not even a fragment of affection. His princely title was changed twice,  and even on the day of the archery contest, his father hoped his own son would lose. We called King Hui-jong a terrible father.

[00:00:24]But what if that was not the whole truth? What if, behind that cold treatment, there was another reason he  could never bring himself to say?

[00:00:31]Today, I would like to bring up one possibility. What if King Hui-jong had left behind records like Jeongjo’s Ilseongnok? And what  if Grand Prince Yi-an discovered them?

[00:00:42]Before we begin the full analysis, please support  Grand Prince Yi-an and Seong Hui-ju with a like and subscription. Let us begin.

[00:00:50]The story goes back to the time before  King Hui-jong ascended the throne.

[00:00:55]From the twenty-eighth king to the  thirtieth, the position of queen had never once left the Park family. Queen Park. Then another Park. Then yet another Park. The chain of powerful maternal relatives was quietly, yet firmly,  tightening around the royal family.

[00:01:13]In that situation, his elder brother,  King Gwangjong, took the throne.

[00:01:17]His weak elder brother could not bear the  weight of it, and beneath the surface, the Park, Yoon, and Han families  fought fiercely over the queen’s seat.

[00:01:27]When rumors spread that a queen would come from  the Yoon family, the king died in a mysterious fire before the marriage could even take place. Then the second son, Yi Gyeok, who would later become King Hui-jong, became king. He had not wanted to become king.

[00:01:42]His elder brother had simply  failed to leave behind an heir.

[00:01:46]But the world would not leave him alone. “A king who devoured his own brother.”

[00:01:51]He must have felt wronged. He must have felt furious.

[00:01:55]He had been seated on a throne he never  wanted, yet that very throne became the brand that marked him for the rest of his life. To erase that disgrace, King Hui-jong worked harder than anyone at the duties of a  king, and he clung more fiercely than anyone to strengthening royal authority. Even so, the suspicion never disappeared.

[00:02:15]And that suspicion flowed toward his son. The eldest son, I-hwan, was frail, but kind.

[00:02:22]Yet when it came to brilliance, he could  not compare to the second son, Yi Wan.

[00:02:27]From childhood, Yi Wan’s eyes were different. He was intelligent, quick in judgment, and more than anything, he resembled his father. That was the problem.

[00:02:37]King Hui-jong knew. He knew what happened when an outstanding second son stood beside the  king. Powerful in-laws would cling to him, factions would gather around him, and eventually,  the Crown Prince’s life would be placed in danger.

[00:02:52]Just as he himself had been suspected of killing  his elder brother, he feared that one day, Yi Wan would also be suspected of killing I-hwan. So King Hui-jong made a choice.

[00:03:04]He believed he had to cut off  the sprout before it could grow.

[00:03:07]He had to make Yi Wan appear  like a man without ambition.

[00:03:10]So he changed his princely title. From Grand Prince I-yeong, to Grand Prince I-shin, and then to Grand Prince Yi-an. On the day of the contest, his son’s team lost its position. And at times, the king even raised his hand against him. Cruel, yes.

[00:03:27]But within King Hui-jong’s logic,  it was a way to keep his son alive.

[00:03:32]He believed Yi Wan could survive only if he was  raised as someone who would never become king.

[00:03:37]Of course, whether that belief was right,  and whether that method was justified, is an entirely different matter. But King Hui-jong had another enemy.

[00:03:47]Queen Ui-hyeon of the Park family died  in a traffic accident in May 2005.

[00:03:52]At an empty intersection in the middle of the  night, with no other cars around, a dump truck appeared from nowhere and charged forward at full  speed. Queen Ui-hyeon died instantly at the scene.

[00:04:04]Her vehicle was damaged beyond recognition, and  there were no records anywhere that could confirm what had happened at the time of the crash. It was not an accident.

[00:04:14]Someone had erased the queen. King Hui-jong dug into the truth.

[00:04:18]And he discovered it. The culprit was the Yoon family.

[00:04:21]If King Gwangjong had survived, the  Yoon family could have produced a queen.

[00:04:26]Their calculation was that if the queen’s  seat were left vacant, they could claim that position for themselves. King Hui-jong did not remarry.

[00:04:35]No matter how many petitions came in, saying that  for the stability of the royal family, the queen’s position could no longer remain empty, he endured. In the end, to appease the Yoon family, he accepted Yoon Yi-rang as  the wife of his son, I-hwan.

[00:04:51]He embraced poison while knowing it was poison. He hoped that no more sacrifices would be made for Yi Wan’s sake. But that choice instead became poison.

[00:05:01]As soon as the wedding between I-hwan and Yoon  Yi-rang was over, Lord Yoon Sung-won used poison against King Hui-jong. Digoxin poisoning.

[00:05:10]A mysterious heart attack. That was how the king died.

[00:05:14]And in his place, the young king  I-yun was left behind, while Lord Yoon Sung-won began pulling the strings in his hand. Here, I would like to speak of one possibility.

[00:05:25]Jeongjo, the twenty-second king of  Joseon, wrote in his diary every single day from the time he was Crown Prince’s heir. That diary, where he recorded his thoughts, policies, and reflections, was the Ilseongnok. There is a strong possibility that King Hui-jong did the same. The memories of his father.

[00:05:45]The death of his elder brother. The night he lost his queen.

[00:05:49]The days he raised his hand against Yi Wan. Perhaps he was a man who could not say any of it to anyone, and could only  pour everything out onto paper.

[00:05:58]What if that Ilseongnok remained  somewhere inside the royal office?

[00:06:02]What if Grand Prince Yi-an  happened to find it while searching for materials for an official event? Would these words not have been written there?

[00:06:09]“I was called the king who devoured his brother. I felt wronged, and I was furious.

[00:06:15]Even though I never wanted it, the  world turned me into a monster.

[00:06:19]Yi Wan, I hoped that you, at least,  could live without becoming king.

[00:06:24]That is why I did things to you  that should never have been done.

[00:06:28]I am sorry.” Grand Prince Yi-an must have lived his entire life resenting his father. But the moment he read that Ilseongnok, resentment and understanding would  have rushed over him at the same time.

[00:06:41]And written there would also have been the  atrocities of the Yoon family, as well as the truth hidden behind his mother’s death. At that moment, Yi-an may have realized it.

[00:06:51]All of these tragedies were not simply the  misfortunes of the royal family, but the results of something carefully created by someone else. And while following those records, he may also have been unable to avoid another suspicion. The Min family, which had produced prime ministers for generations, might not  have been unrelated to this truth either.

[00:07:12]But at that very moment, a fire  breaks out in the royal office.

[00:07:16]In episode ten, the young king I-yun tried to  make a sincere declaration to Grand Prince Yi-an.

[00:07:23]He intended to honor his father’s will and  hand the throne itself over to his uncle.

[00:07:28]From Lord Yoon Sung-won’s perspective,  this was a scenario he could never accept.

[00:07:34]The power he had wielded by keeping  the young king in his grasp would vanish completely the moment the capable  Grand Prince Yi-an ascended the throne.

[00:07:42]And Prime Minister Min Jeong-woo  moved for a slightly different reason.

[00:07:47]Because Seong Hui-ju had chosen  Grand Prince Yi-an, he had changed.

[00:07:51]That jealousy must have become the spark that  made him join hands with Lord Yoon Sung-won.

[00:07:57]When interests and emotions overlap,  people become most dangerous.

[00:08:01]The royal office caught fire, and standing there  was Grand Prince Yi-an, who had been promised a meeting with Prime Minister Min Jeong-woo. He thought he was walking into a meeting, but the place had been prepared as a trap. Now let us move to the preview for episode eleven.

[00:08:17]After the fire breaks out,  Grand Prince Yi-an collapses.

[00:08:21]And beside him are scattered documents. What if those papers are traces of the Ilseongnok left behind by his father, King Hui-jong? Seong Hui-ju rescues Grand Prince Yi-an, and he wakes up. With eyes that have read his father’s true feelings, he will once again  face the faces of those who tried to kill him.

[00:08:41]Now it begins. The true hunt of the twenty-first-century Suyang Grand Prince is about to begin. So let us organize it.

[00:08:50]Was King Hui-jong a terrible father? He clearly chose the wrong method.

[00:08:55]He abused his son and left wounds  that could never be washed away.

[00:08:59]And he died without ever directly  conveying what was in his heart.

[00:09:04]But he left something behind. The atrocities of the Yoon family.

[00:09:08]And his apology toward his son. If that Ilseongnok falls into Grand Prince Yi-an’s hands after decades, the world Yi-an  thought he knew may be completely overturned.

[00:09:19]Of course, this does not mean that King Hui-jong’s  coldness was love, or that abuse was protection.

[00:09:26]Rather, King Hui-jong was trapped inside the hell  called the royal family, and he hoped that at least one person could live outside that hell. And that person was Grand Prince Yi-an.

[00:09:37]Perhaps this truth will make Grand Prince  Yi-an’s awakening even more devastating.

[00:09:42]Because the moment he understands  his father’s true feelings, he also returns alive from the  threshold of death and faces the very people who killed that father. Now, Grand Prince Yi-an will move.

[00:09:54]Defying his father’s wish for him  to live as someone who was not king, he will ultimately become the true king and try to  complete what his father could never accomplish.

[00:10:04]That is why episode ten of Perfect Crown  becomes even more worth waiting for.

[00:10:09]That is all for today’s review. If you found this video interesting, please like and subscribe. I will return with an even deeper review next time. Thank you for watching.
