[History Is Alive - Baekje Edition] Episode 2: King Goiwang Builds the Kingdom's Framework with Clothing Colors

1. In 260 CE, in the 27th year of his reign, Baekje King Goiwang established six jwapyeong and sixteen ranks, assigning a clothing color to each rank to set up a hierarchy.
2. The Samguk Sagi records that officials of the 6th rank and above wore purple, those of the 11th rank and above wore blue-green, and those of the 16th rank and above wore blue.
3. However, scholars disagree on when the sixteen-rank system was completed, with the prevailing view holding that it was finished around the time of King Seongwang, and an opposing view holding that it was organized during Goiwang's reign.
