This study reviewed the political background of 12 meritorious subjects honored in the late Choson Dynasty. Most of them are believed to have produced the result of the political situation at the time being meritorious subject honored. In the reign of Kwanghaegun In the unusual four cases of meritorious subject honored seemed to have a strong intention to enhance the political influence of Daebuk, especially Yi I-chem, who led it with a political reversal. In the design of Kwanghaegun, four meritorious subjects were eventually deprived with the success of Injobanjeong. Instead, King Injo honored Jeongsa meritorious subjects after the success of banjeong. However, there was controversy among banjeong meritorious subjects surrounding honored subjects. Complaints in the process of Jeongsa meritorious subjects honored led to Yi Gwal's rebellion, and after suppression, Jinmu Meritorious Subjects honored. During the Jinmu meritorious subjects honored, honored against the accuser was also conducted according to the king's strong will, which was intended to broaden the door to spying and secret accusations. At the time of the Jeongmyo War, dissatisfaction with Juhuwa led to the rebellion of Lee Ingeo and Yoo Hyorip, and to prevent this consciousness, Somu meritorious subjects and Youngsa meritorious subjects were honored. After the Manchu Invasion of Korea in 1636, Choi Mingil led the political situation, and as complaints about his foreign policy were raised, forces close to the Qing Dynasty took control of the political situation again. And it was necessary to change the political situation, and in the process, Sim Giwon oksa occurred and after the oksa was organized, Yeonguk meritorious subjects was honored. In the background of the political situation, meritorious subjects honored is no exception to In the reign of Sukjong's Bossa meritorious subjects, In the reign of Gyeongjong's Busa meritorious subjects, and In the reign of Yongjo's Bunmoo meritorious subjects. Meanwhile, in the late Choson Dynasty, meritorious subject honored was not implemented for a while after King Injo's reign, and then proceeded again in Sukjong's reign. However, it is not that there was no opportunity. In fact, in relation to Kim Ja-jeom oksa during the year of King Hyojong, meritorious subject honored was promoted, but it was not achieved in the end. While the king led the meritorious subject honored, the forces that led the political situation did not agree. It was also opposed by justification, and it was also due to the dynamics of the political situation at the time. Through this, it can be estimated that the king's unilateral will is also important for the meritorious subject honored, but an agreement with the political-led forces at the time was necessary. In the above, the political background of the meritorious subject honored promoted in the late Choson Dynasty was examined. Due to the long-term and comprehensive review, sufficient review has not been conducted on the detailed process or political controversy of individual meritorious subject honored. This needs to be supplemented later.
