Jeongjo of Joseon
1752 CE–1800 CE · Hanseong (Seoul)
Jeongjo of Joseon (1752-1800) was the twenty-second king of Korea's Joseon dynasty, reigning from 1776 to 1800. The son of the executed Crown Prince Sado, he continued his grandfather Yeongjo's efforts to curb factionalism and drew talented scholars into government through the Kyujanggak royal library and research institute. A patron of learning and reform, he built the fortress city of Hwaseong at Suwon in honor of his father; his reign is generally seen as a late cultural and intellectual high point of the dynasty.
