Yejong of Joseon

Yejong became king of Joseon at age 18 following the death of his father, King Sejo. His reign was brief and largely dominated by the legacy of his father's rule.

Yejong died after only 14 months on the throne, at age 19. His sudden death led to the accession of his nephew, Seongjong, and left little lasting impact on Joseon history.
