Update: Perfect Crown Production Team has issued an official apology. Following the backlash on Episode 11:
To all the viewers who have watched the drama with affection, we sincerely bow our heads in apology for causing concern due to issues with the worldview setting and historical accuracy.
We humbly accept the viewers' pointed criticism that, in the enthronement scene in the drama, the king wearing the ‘Guryumyeongwan’ while the officials shout "Cheonse" damages our country's status as an independent nation.
This occurred because the production team failed to carefully examine how
Joseon dynasty etiquette and protocols evolved throughout history. Perfect Crown is a romantic drama that also has the characteristics of an alternate history story, where a fictional world intersects with real historical context. This required careful and in-depth consideration, but our efforts to refine the worldview in detail and examine it more thoroughly were insufficient.
We humbly accept the viewers' criticism and will modify the audio and subtitles for the relevant parts as quickly as possible in future rebroadcasts, VOD, and OTT services.
We once again deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused. Going forward, the production team will take even greater responsibility and do our best to create works that repay the trust of our viewers.

Knets are criticizing Perfect Crown for Ian’s coronation scene for historical inaccuracies.
1) In the scene, Ian shows up wearing the “Guryumyeongwan”, the hat with the nine beaded strings hanging from the front and back. That style was what Joseon kings traditionally wore when Korea was a tributary kingdom to China.
But here’s the thing: if Ian is supposedly becoming emperor of a brand-new independent empire with no higher sovereign, they said he really should’ve been wearing the “Sipyiryumyeongwan”, the hat with twelve beaded strings. That version was reserved for the most sovereign rulers.
2) When he sits on the throne, his parliament starts chanting “Cheon-se” (may the kingdom last a thousand years) instead of “Man-se” (ten thousand years). Back then, only the Chinese emperor got the grand “Man-se.” For the Korean king, people were only allowed to use ���Cheon-se” because it was still a vassal state.
Just wondering if there’s any reason why they didn’t do the research on this or if there’s a plot angle to it because it’s supposed to be a fantasy drama.
