King Injo: Factionalism, Rebellion, Factionalism | Fall of Joseon, part 12

King Injo: Factionalism, Rebellion, Factionalism | Fall of Joseon, Part 12 delves into the turbulent reign of King Injo, who ascended to the throne following the downfall of Gwanghae-gun. Amidst the chaos of factional strife, his reign became defined by rebellion, power struggles, and intense political maneuvering. With Joseon deeply divided, Injo fought for legitimacy and control over the court, leading to bloody purges and widespread opposition. This episode explores Injo’s efforts to stabilize his rule, the growing influence of the West Faction, and the public unrest that culminated in the 1631 student strike, a defining moment in the history of Joseon’s political landscape.
