NPOV[edit]

chuckle* There's a lot of Yi Seok unhappiness coming through in this article. I can live with it, since it's not really inaccurate, but the only people who 'contest' Yi Won's adoption and selection are Yi Seok and his supporters. Rumor has it that at the meeting of the Yi Clan when this decision was made, Yi Seok said some very bad words. Too bad; that's why Korean succession doesn't follow strict rules but picks the most appropriate person.

A nitpick on the guy's title - whether Korea is a monarchy or not is irrelevant - Yi Won is now Head of House of the royal family, and therefore crown prince. If Korea were still a monarchy, he'd also have the job of being king. --Dan 17:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article for real? Talk about crying over spilt kimchi... Isaac Crumm 11:56, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There only one article in the news archive about this subject, compared to 20 about Yi Seok. The articles on Yi Seok in the The New York Times and Washington Post don't even mention that there are other Korean pretenders. I think it's time to stop protraying the succession as seriously disputed. Kauffner (talk) 01:58, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Western media cannot make the sole pretender. Yi Seok is not even listed in List of current pretenders. Yi Won is "posthumous adopted son" of late Yi Ku (even though Korean civil code don't recognize "posthumous adopted son", but House of Yi recongnize it). For example, Emperor Gojong became posthumous adopted son of Munjo (文祖: Crown Prince Hyomyong), therefore he can be the King of Korea. Moreover, Yi Won takes a roll in Jongmyo jerye and other rituals, like the kings of Joseon dynasty. 218.153.217.167 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:56, 7 September 2011 (UTC).[reply]

The Korean government must promote Yi Seok as a tourist attraction and every English-language news source plays along with his faux-pretender status. I wonder how they pulled that one off. I used to work for Korea-Herald. We published whatever Yonhap told us to. Apparently everyone else is just as lame. Kauffner (talk) 12:22, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

National name problem[edit]

ex) the next Head of Korean Imperial Household -> the next Head of Daehan Imperial Household

by Princess Yi Haewon of Korea -> by Princess Yi Haewon of Daehan

He currently lives in an apartment in Wondang, Goyang, Gyeonggi province, Korea with his family. -> He currently lives in an apartment in Wondang, Goyang, Gyeonggi province, Daehan with his family.

16 July 2005 – present: assumed to be His Imperial Highness Won, Hereditary Prince Imperial of Korea -> 16 July 2005 – present: assumed to be His Imperial Highness Won, Hereditary Prince Imperial of Daehan --안성균 (talk) 09:25, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
