Talk:Lee Hae-chan

Untitled
wish list:
 * personal history
 * role in recent political events, esp. the Roh impeachment
 * is he related to the entire Korean Imperial Household, or somehow only to Yi Gu?

If he is a relative of Yi Ku, he should be added to the House of Yi category. Remove it if you prove that he is not a descandant of any of Joseon's emperors. Mr Tan 17:09, 3 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Well, Joseon (or more accurately the Korean Empire) had only two emperors; the rest of the monarchs were kings. And I'm just not sure about how inclusive the House of Yi category should be, as potentially the entire Jeonju Yi clan could be included. The relationship to Korea's former royalty is a tiny piece of trivia that is not considered very relevant for most Koreans, who probably don't know and don't care. But if trivia-loving Wikipedians want the category, that's fine.


 * I added bits about his stint as minister of education, but I'm not sure how much I can contribute without being very POV. Suffice it to say that he is a pretty universally loathed figure by the "Lee Hae-chan generation", who are a few years younger than me--I know some who cringe at the mention of his name. --Iceager 14:57, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

The cited article says Lee is Yi Gu's relative. But they just shares same clan. Jeonjoo Yi clan is the 3rd biggest clan in Korea, and about 5% of Koreans are Jeonjoo Yi clan members. Seungman Rhee, the first president of Republic of Korea, is also Jeonjoo Yi clan member, so is Yi Hoi-chang. I've read Korean articles about Yi Gu's funeral, and I am pretty sure. So I deleted the sentence. --J.H. Yeom 16:52, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
