Jang Seongkyu·Lee Sangyeop's ranking battle chart show "From one to ten" selected Sado Seja, Empress Cheonchu and Yi Ui-min as the TOP3 "Korea's worst madmen".
On the 29th broadcast of tcast E Channel's "From one to ten," "Cute-gyu" Jang Seongkyu·Lee Sangyeop engaged in a fierce ranking competition on the theme "the worst madmen who shook Korean history." In particular, since the topic favored Lee Sangyeop, who holds a Korean history proficiency test "level 1," attention focused on whether he could achieve a second consecutive win following last week by surpassing the "unranked" Jang Seongkyu. However, defying expectations, Jang Seongkyu won by taking first place with a story about "Sado Seja, who drove about 100 people to their deaths," and the two ended up recording one win and one loss each.
The story that Sado Seja, the "icon of sympathy" who met a tragic end trapped in a rice chest by his father Yeongjo, was in fact the "embodiment of madness" who killed about 100 people shocked viewers. Sado Seja killed everyone from the eunuch who clothed him to concubines he favored so much that he had two children with them. He also took about 100 lives for absurd reasons such as not liking the clothes or displeasure with a divination. Ultimately, his atrocities reached the ears of his father Yeongjo, and they only ended after he was trapped in the rice chest. The story of Empress Cheonchu, the "evil woman of the age" who went blind with forbidden love for a commoner and drove Goryeo to ruin, also piqued interest. Empress Cheonchu handed over government posts, personnel authority and even the state treasury to her lover, and in trying to make the son she bore with him the next king, she provided the pretext for the Korea-Khitan Wa and brought the nation to the brink of collapse.
The story of Yi Ui-min, a "Goryeo general" who rose from a lowborn thug to the pinnacle of power with his bare fists, provoked much anger. When the king who favored him was deposed, Yi Ui-min killed him in a brutal manner. He rose to a post equivalent to prime minister and minister of the Ministry of National Defense, but was ultimately killed by another coup force. Upon this, Lee Sangyeop said, "He raised a tiger cub," in shock, and Jang Seongkyu fumed, "This is truly the worst. It shouldn't end well." The bizarre incident in which Yeonsangun murdered two stepmothers related to the death of his birth mother, Deposed Queen Yoon, and pickled their bodies in salted fish was also revealed. Hearing this, Jang Seongkyu could not contain his shock, asking, "What have I just heard?" The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty were also introduced, reporting that Yeonsangun, driven by strong lust, committed a heinous act against his elder aunt and fathered a child, which horrified everyone.
Also introduced in succession with engaging commentary were the outrageous acts and madness of historical figures beyond imagination: Jinryeonggun, the "shaman in power" whom Empress Myeongseong called sister; the "psychopath trio" who ran wild trusting the backing of their father Seonjo; Choi Buk, the "Joseon Van Gogh" who stabbed out his own eyes; Yeon Gaesomun, Goguryeo's great general and "blood butcherer"; Gongmin of Goryeo, the "tragic romance protagonist" ruined by love; and Park Mun-su, the original extreme public servant and "verbal bombardier."
Meanwhile, on that day's broadcast, Jang Seongkyu and Lee Sangyeop, who pride themselves on being devoted lovers, were given an impromptu phone mission to "be the first to hear 'I love you' from their wife." Newlywed Lee Sangyeop blurted out a blunt confession, "Honey, I love you," and created a sweet atmosphere by receiving the reply "I love you too" from his wife in just 18 seconds. Married for 12 years, Jang Seongkyu also completed the mission warmly in 1 minute 49 seconds despite the unexpected variable of his son's phone intrusion.
