[theqoo] [PERFECT CROWN] AS THE KING ASCENDS TO THE THRONE, HIS MINISTERS SHOUTED “JEONSE, JEONSE, JEON-JEONSE”

May 16, 2026

You’re telling me that the 21st century is a vassal state?

(T/n:

– In the Joseon dynasty, “만세” (“manse,” literally “10,000 years”) was an expression reserved only for the emperor.

– Since Joseon considered itself a tributary/vassal state (“제후국”) under the Chinese emperor for much of its history, it supposedly used the lower-ranking expression “천세” (“jeonse,” or “1,000 years”) instead. A vassal state is a weaker, nominally independent nation that is dominated by a larger, more powerful one

OP is being sarcastic. OP is joking/mockingly implying that Korea is acting like a subordinate state again, usually in response to some political, diplomatic, or royal-related issue.)

1. Hul this is too much

2. This just feels like a way to shut people up. Seriously, you guys need to tone it down a bit

3. Seriously, there is no standard here. I’m so mad at MBC

4. F*ck, this drama is doing well overseas but it’s making me so embarrassed

5. So he ascended to the throne in the end?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. Just imagining that China and Japan will use “Jeonse” in their subtitles is… ha….

7. No but seriouslyㅋㅋㅋㅋ this isn’t even a sageuk but they are using “Jeonse” in the current days..?

8. Why would they do this?

9. No but this is seriously crazy

10. So embarrassing. And people look at this thinking it’s the level of K-dramas
