A scorching summer day in 1762. The body of a man was found in a wooden box in the middle of a house yard. Nails and ropes that are tightly packed so they can't be opened. In it, the man slowly died, and this man was Crown Prince Sado, the son of King Yeongjo, the 21st king of Joseon. The amazing death in unprecedented ways was because Crown Prince Sado killed more than 100 people in five years and even planned to kill his father, King Yeongjo, why did he do that?
Crown Prince Sado, who has been highly anticipated by his father since he was young. But one day, he started acting strangely. They kill six people a day, and they even call gisaengs and female monks day and night to do obscene things. The weirdest thing is not being able to wear clothes. He immediately killed the servant who brought the clothes because he didn't like them. Kim Chang-yoon, emeritus professor of psychiatry at Ulsan Medical University, diagnosed that all of this was due to Crown Prince Sado's 'bipolar disorder (bipolar disorder)'. This tendency came to appear in a more violent and extreme form due to the excessive education and expectations of his father, King Yeongjo.
Ahn Hyun-mo said, "While I was alive, I suffered so much from my father that I had no place to turn until the last minute" he lamented. In addition, Lee Ji-hye lamented that `Youngjo expects too much from her son and forces him to learn too much from an early age' and 'What the prince needed was his father's warm eyes and sweet words.'
The story of Crown Prince Sado, who died the most bizarre death in Joseon's history while trying to kill his father, at 9:45 p.m. on Tuesday, May 13.
