(The Former King Is Dead But The Queen Dowager and Queen Mother Are Still Alive)
Also, you must be wondering how Hoseok was crown prince but he didn't become king when his father died. It is because in his father's will, it said he wanted Jimin to be king not Hoseok. So even though, Hoseok was crown prince, the will overpowered that and stated Jimin to be king. Even though, some officials could argue that the crown prince's position overpowered the will, the Sorons or Norons didn't like Hoseok because his mother who wasn't actually the Queen Mother but a concubine was Naemin. So since, he was considered Naemin because of his mother, the Norons and Sorons didn't even try to argue that the crown prince should become king. Now, Jimin is considered Noron because his mother Queen Mother (Park Jin Ae) is a Noron even though the royal family shouldn't really have a party. But, the Princess (Park Jennie) is a Soron because she also is the daughter of a concubine but not the same one as Hoseok's. Her mother was a Soron so she is also considered one. But Jimin never actually gave benefits to the Noron, so the Sorons thought he was better than the crown prince. Also, Jimin loved his sister who was a Soron so the Sorons thought he was okay compared to the crown prince. So instead of Hoseok becoming king, Jimin became the king.
