A 26-minute bonus episode on the average life expectancy of the Joseon Dynasty. Based on calculations by Professor Hwang Sang-ik of Seoul National University College of Medicine that the average age of death for the 27 kings from the first, Taejo, to the 27th, Sunjong, was 46.1 years, this episode unfolds the five factors that forced the common people of that era to remain between the ages of 35 and 40, in the order of childbirth, infectious diseases, famine, war, and medical care. It serves as a break between the Jeongjong and Taejong episodes of the 27 Kings series. We will follow along with historical records and statistics, covering stories such as the passing of Grand Prince Gwangpyeong, the fifth son of King Sejong, from smallpox at the age of twenty in 1444; the Insangsik record of the Great Gyeongsin Famine of 1670 in Volume 12 of the Annals of King Hyeonjong; a single page from Volume 21 of the Annals of King Hyojong where King Hyojong passed away at the age of forty-one from hemorrhagic shock following acupuncture treatment by Royal Physician Shin Ga-gwi on May 4, 1659; and even the Kwon Tae-hwan and Shin Yong-ha model, in which 2 to 3 million people out of a population of 14 million disappeared during the Imjin War. We will also witness the dramatic turnaround of King Yeongjo, who passed through all five enemies and departed at the age of 81 years and 5 months. Finally, we will summarize in one place the span of a century—adding 31 years to the average age of 52.4 in 1960 and 83.5 in 2023—all achieved through a single injection of penicillin, a single tap, and a single refrigerator. Once you have seen it all, you will see that the glass of water you drink today was, in fact, a miracle. --- 📌 Timeline 00:00 Introduction to a break time for the 27 Kings series 00:55 Self-projection of one's own age + Average age of the 27 kings: 46.1 years 02:00 First Enemy — The act of birth itself (Gwangpyeong Grand Prince, 20 years old, 1444) 06:00 Second Enemy — Smallpox and the Three Major Famines (Gyeongsin, Eulbyeong, Jeongmyo-Gihae) 11:00 Third Enemy — Imjin War: 2–3 million deaths, 4 political purges, Seven Grounds for Divorce 15:00 Fourth Enemy — Cheonggyecheon Stream sanitation, Hyojong (1659) boils (41 years old), Gyeongjong (1724) marinated crab (37 years old) 20:00 Fifth Twist — Yeongjo (81 years and 5 months old), Elderly Office, Giroso 23:30 The knockout blow that bridged the gap — Penicillin (1928), faucet, refrigerator 25:00 The number of times one's own age is repeated and A Phone Call from Parents --- 📊 Data Sources Used in the Video [Original Text of the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty] • Article on the death of Grand Prince Gwangpyeong in 1444 — Annals of King Sejong, Vol. 106 (Crossed with the Grand Prince Gwangpyeong entry on sillok.history.go.kr) • Records of corpses and funeral rites for those who starved to death during the Great Gyeongsin Famine (1670–71) — Annals of King Hyeonjong, Vol. 12 • Great Eulbyeong Famine (1695–96) — Annals of King Sukjong • Jeongmyo-Gihae Famine (1727–28) — Annals of King Yeongjo • King Hyojong died of a boil on May 4, 1659; royal physician Shin Ga-gwi administered acupuncture — Annals of King Hyojong, Vol. 21 • King Gyeongjong passed away on August 5, 1724, after being presented with marinated crab and raw persimmons on August 2 — Annals of King Gyeongjong • King Sunjo, Hoesangjeon Hall, Gyeonghuigung Palace, November 13, 1834 Passed Away — Annals of King Sunjo [Encyclopedia of Korean Culture] • King Yeongjo (1694–1776): 81 years and 5 months in age · Reign: 51 years and 7 months · Moderate diet · 140 health checkups — Encyclopedia of Korean Culture, King Yeongjo entry (encykorea.aks.ac.kr) • Grand Prince Gwangpyeong (1425–1444): Presumed cause of death was smallpox — Encyclopedia of Korean Culture, Grand Prince Gwangpyeong entry • Noinjik (Royal Inspectorate): 80 years old, 1st rank; Status: Military officer · Giroso; 70 years old, 2nd rank · Yangnoyeon; 60 years old, Status: Military officer — Entries preceding Volume 1 of the Gyeonggukdaejeon + Encyclopedia of Korean Culture, Noinjik entry • Donguibogam (Completed in 1610, the 2nd year of King Gwanghaegun; Published by the Royal Medical Office in 1613) — Encyclopedia of Korean Culture, Donguibogam entry • Jeong Yak-yong, Magwahoetong (Treatise on Magwa): 1799 — Encyclopedia of Korean Culture, Magwahoetong entry [Academic Materials] • Average death age of 27 kings: 46.1 (47.3 excluding Danjong) — Calculated by Professor Hwang Sang-ik, Seoul National University College of Medicine / Munhwa Ilbo 2013-12-26 • Average birth rate of Yangban women: 5.09 / Average number of sons eligible for ancestral rites: 1.25 / Mortality rate under 1 year: 25%, under 5 years: 30–40% — Professor Park Hee-jin, Kyungpook National University, "Family Regulation Mechanisms and Culture of Joseon" • Population just before the Imjin War in 1591: 14 million → Deaths after the war: 2–3 million — Model by ...
