Crown Prince Munhyo (Korean문효세자; Hanja文孝世子; 13 October 1782 – 6 June 1786), personal name Yi Sun (이순; 李㬀), was the first son of Jeongjo of Joseon and his favorite concubine, Royal Noble Consort Ui of the Changnyeong Seong clan.[1][2][3] He was the older half-brother of King Sunjo.

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.[4]
