권력이 부자 사이도 갈라놓다; 흥선대원군 vs 고종 (KBS_2008.09.20.방송)

On January 16, 1864, King Cheoljong passed away, and Yi Ha-eung became Heungseon Daewongun. Heungseon Daewongun and King Gojong shared the same goal of enriching the nation and strengthening its military, but chose different paths: isolation and enlightenment, leading to a tragic conflict. After Gojong declared his rule, Daewongun, ousted from politics, repeatedly attempted to return, leading to national crises such as the Imo Incident and the kidnapping of the Qing Dynasty. His father, distrustful of his son's abilities, sought to regain power, while his son, viewing his father's interference as a threat to his regime, ultimately failed to reconcile. Gojong's decision to ignore Daewongun's final path was not merely an act of personal unfilial piety; it was the result of a fierce power struggle over control of Joseon during a period of turbulent change. #KoreanHistory #History #HistorySpecial #HistoryJournal #TimeTraveler Copyright ⓒ KBS.
