King Jeongjo was deeply attached to his son, and the death of the prince was a great shock to the king. Unable to believe that his son was gone, he wished it were all just a dream. Crown Prince Munhyo was posthumously granted the title of "Taeja" (태자) by King Gojong after the establishment of the Korean Empire in 1897.
