"Have you ever wondered? In Episode 1 of Bon Appรฉtit, Your Majesty, when Yeon Ji-yeong told King Lee Heon that he is Yeonhuigun, the King didnโt recognize his own name. Why was that?"
In Joseon, kings were never called by their real names. After death, they received:
๐ธ a temple name (like Sejong)
๐ธ or a long posthumous title, usually based on their achievements
Thatโs why King Lee Heon didnโt recognize the nameโit was only given after his rule ended. So, when he heard โYeonhuigun,โ name given after his exile, he realized Yeon Ji Yeong was from the future.
