LaHi presents: Seriously Trivial King Taejong of the Joseon Dynasty was one of the toughest kings from the period. Once, while on a hunting trip, he fell from his horse. The King was embarrassed, and ordered his attendants not to let the royal recorders know that he fell. It was the recorders’ job to record everything that happened around the court, especially things about the king. Since the recorders were so dedicated to doing their job, they wrote that the king fell from his horse and ordered his attendants not to let the recorders know.
