Historically, Gwanghae, the 15th Joseon king from 1608 to 1623, attempted diplomacy through neutrality as China's Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and Qing Dynasty (1636-1912) set their sights on the country. He also tried his hand at other reforms and reconstruction to try to make the nation prosperous, including an emphasis on the restoration of documts, but met with opposition and was later deposed and exiled to Jeju Island.
Since he was deposed in a coup by the Westerners faction, historians did not give him a temple name like Taejo or Sejong.
