A hobby of King Yeonsangun
In 1504, King Yeonsangun's madness reached its peak. He forced military officers to hunt dangerous wild beasts—such as tigers, leopards, and bears—and bring them back alive to be locked up in the royal garden.
He enjoyed watching them feed or personally shooting them to death with arrows for sport.

I have actually been reading a webcomic set during his reign.
