King Yejong of Joseon

Yejong was the eighth king of Joseon, the second son of King Sejo and Queen Jeonghui, who ascended the throne in 1468. His reign lasted only about a year and a half before his death, yet it saw the "Nam Yi affair," in which the military official Nam Yi was executed on charges of treason. He is remembered as a transitional ruler bridging the reigns of Sejo and Seongjong.
