Hanja name

The King's name in Hanja is '李昪'. In Korean, it is Yi Byeon. However, in most Chinese materials, his name is often misrecognized as '李昇', which pronounces as Yi Seong. This is a very serious yet very popular error, as the character '昪' is a very rare word. '昇', however, is a very common one. Therefore, we need to take care when searching.
