폭군을 몰아낸 왕은 삼전도에서 이마를 찍었다 — 광해군과 인조, 누가 진짜 망국의 군주인가

The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty called him a "tyrant." Textbooks, historical dramas, and the history we have learned for so long have all characterized him that way. At dawn in the spring of 1623, the palace was ablaze. The King of Joseon climbed over the wall, carried on the backs of eunuchs. Taking off his royal robes, wearing straw sandals borrowed from others, he shivered in the house of a royal physician. The king who had ruled Joseon for 15 years. No one came to protect him. Those who ousted him branded him a "tyrant." Textbooks, historical dramas, and the history we have learned for 400 years—all summarized it that way. However, the man who drove out that tyrant and became king—exactly 13 years later—struck his forehead nine times against the ground at Samjeondo. If Gwanghaegun was truly driven out because he was a tyrant, why did the Joseon dynasty, created by those who drove him out, kneel before the barbarians after just 13 years?
