context_page_description: Gwanghae-gun or Prince Gwanghae was the fifteenth king of the Joseon dynasty. His personal name was Yi Hon. As he was deposed in a coup d'état, later official historians did not give him a temple name like Taejo or Sejong.
context_section_description: Although Gwanghaegun is one of only two deposed kings who were not restored and given the temple name (the other one being Yeonsangun), many people consider him a victim of feuds between political factions. However he did a better job of caring for his country than his predecessor King Seonjo, or his successor King Injo. They both contributed to invasions—the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–1598), the Seven Year War; and the Manchu Invasion.
  In modern South Korea, Gwanghaegun is considered one of the wiser kings rather than a despot.
