This bombshell might be a speeding up of the plot if what you say about timeframe is correct. It's probably part of his motivation of wiping out King Il and chasing out Yona. And now it unfolds...
The manga's suppose to end this year? Oyyy, no, I want many more chapters with Hak & Yona. Preferably also some good ones, without suffering.
Well, Soo Won may have the blood of the "Crimson King" running through his veins, but that doesn't mean that he's the reincarnation. It just means that he belongs to the same family as he did.
Let us not forget that, upon meeting Yona, all of the dragons reacted to her and felt compelled to obey her. That didn't happen with "our king guy here".
Still, I can't see how the author is planning to finish this manga by the end of this year (if rumors are true) dropping a bomb like this now.
What I'm trying to say is... WE NEED A N S W E R S ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
