Unlike other Joseon monarchs, who could receive a temple name after their death, Yeonsangun and Gwanghaegun never had one due to being overthrown and gun denotes "prince" instead of king.
Gojong became the first emperor of the Korean Empire in 1897[7][8] and abdicated in 1907; he was demoted to "King Emeritus Yi" in 1910.[9][10]
Sunjong abdicated in 1910 and became "King Yi" at the same time.[10]
Yi Un became the Imperial Crown Prince of the Korean Empire in 1907 by Japanese government, only to be demoted to the "Crown Prince of King Yi" in 1910.[10][11] He succeeded the title King Yi in 1926 and lost it in 1947 according to the new constitution in Japan.[12][13] His posthumous name, Crown Prince Euimin (의민황태자), was made by the Jeonju Lee Royal Family Association.[14][15]

"英親王垠을 皇太子로 封함". Retrieved 8 July 2020. 朝野皆知新皇帝不慧,且無嗣屬望,……嚴貴妃方專寵,欲貴其子,厚賂博文,冀得其力;義親王堈,年雖長,多失儀、無人望,且孤立援少……由是衆議自歸於垠,援定宗朝故事,立爲皇太子。 (The people by the time knew that the new emperor was not exactly smart and there's no hope for him to produce an heir,... Lady Eom, the Imperial Noble Consort just gained much love from the Emperor [Emeritus] and she wanted to promote her son's position, so she bribed Itō Hirobumi for his support; the Prince Imperial Ui, despite being elder, had many scandals and lost reputation, making him lack to support... and so, people eventually agreed to make Yi Un the crown prince, following the precedent from King Jeongjong of Joseon.)
