Produktbeschreibung
The House of Yi consists of the descendants of the Joseon Dynasty and the imperial family of the Korean Empire. All are members of the Jeonju Yi clan, and trace their descent from Taejo of Joseon. After the annexation of the Korean Peninsula by Japan, some members were mediatized into the Korean royal family and the Korean peerage by the Japanese government until 1947, just before the Japanese Constitution was promulgated. Since then, their status as royalty has not been acknowledged by any country, however they continue to attract occasional media attention in South Korea. This happened most recently with the July 2005 funeral of Prince Gu, former head of the royal household. At present, Prince Chung is the de jure genealogical heir to the heads of the imperial family, when male primogeniture is applied. However, he has not taken an active position on the debate between the leadership of the imperial family between his two relatives, Hereditary Prince Imperial Won (a first cousin and the son of the 9th son of Prince Ui) and Princess Haewon (aunt and second eldest daughter of Prince Ui).
