Name

I don't agree with the name of this article. Almost every article on the Wikipedia (which are about people) has the born, or the most known name of the person. Why isn't this article just called Yi Ha-eung? Keep it real! He was a person, a human, not a divine king or something else. Oppashi (talk) 14:13, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong disagree; most articles are titled according to WP:COMMONNAME. He is overwhelmingly referred to as the Heungseon Daewongun in both English- and Korean-language literature. 187.190.191.57 (talk) 03:29, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Heungseon Daewongun (1821–1898) was the title of Yi Ha-eung, the regent of Joseon during the minority of Emperor Gojong in the 1860s. Until his death, he was a key political figure of late-Joseon Korea. The Daewongun is remembered both for the wide-ranging reforms that he attempted during his regency, as well as for what was described by historian Hilary Conroy as "vigorous enforcement of the seclusion policy, persecution of Christians, and the killing or driving off of foreigners who landed on Korean soil". This silk painting of the Daewongun, now in the collection of the National Museum of Korea, was created by an unknown artist circa 1869. It is designated as a Treasure of Korea.
