Yejong (Korean: 예종; Hanja: 睿宗; 23 January 1450 – 9 January 1470), personal name Yi Hwang (이황; 李晄), firstly titled Grand Prince Haeyang (해양대군; 海陽大君), was the eighth monarch of the Joseon dynasty of Korea.
However, when Yejong took the throne, Yu Ja-gwang, who was jealous of Nam Yi, accused him of treason when he found out that the king himself was not fond of the general.
According to records of this era, political decisions were taken by the queen and three subjects nominated by King Sejo.
Yi Hwang also granted common farmers the right to cultivate fields which originally belonged to the military.
He died shortly before his 20th birthday and was buried alongside his second wife, Queen Ansun, in the Seooneung Cluster located in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.
