Yi Jun (Hangul: 이준; 11 September 1961) is a great-grandson of the Emperor Gojong of Korea and the first grandson of Prince Imperial Ui, Yi Kang. He is the successor of Sadonggung, the palace of Prince Imperial Ui.
He has worked as a senior engineer at several multinational medical equipment manufacturers. He was born as the eldest son of Yi Gon, the heir of Prince Imperial Ui, Yi Kang, at Deoksu Palace, Seoul.
After the death of Yi Ku, Yi Jun was one of the candidates to be adopted by Yi Ku along with his younger cousin brother, Yi Won. Since Yi Jun had to inherit the imperial lineage of Prince Imperial Ui, the second prince of Emperor Gojong, Yi Won – Yi Jun's younger cousin brother – was adopted as heir to Yi Ku by the Jeonju Lee Royal Family Association.
Prince Imperial Ui Memorial Foundation
As head of the Prince Imperial Ui's family, along with the eldest member of the Korean Imperial Family and Yi Jun's aunt, Yi Haegyeong, Yi Jun founded the Prince Imperial Ui Memorial Foundation (의친왕기념사업회) in 2022. The mission statement of the foundation is to host a series of museum exhibitions of imperial artifacts, art performances, and academic forums and symposiums to discover his grandfather, Prince Imperial Ui's, independence movement activities.
One of the most important mission statements of the foundation is to restore Sadonggung Palace – the palace of Prince Imperial Ui, built in 1905 but destroyed in 2005 to build a public parking space in Insadong area by the Seoul metropolitan government.
From October 2022 to January 2023, Yi Jun and his cousin brother, Yi Young-joo, collected a large number of imperial artifacts of Prince Imperial Ui around the world and organized a special exhibition titled <His Imperial Highness Prince Imperial Ui and the independence movement against Japanese colonization by the Korean imperial family> at Kyungwoon Museum.
Kyungwoon Museum is the first high-school founded museum that was owned by Gyeonggi Girls High School, founded by the emperor Sunjong of Korea.
On the 24th of October 2022, Yi Jun organized an academic symposium titled <Prince Imperial Ui and the imperial family's independence movement by the Korean Imperial Family>.
There were six presenters: Professor Lee, Taejin at Seoul National University, Professor Jeon, Byeong-jun at Ewha Women's University, Professor Ban, Byeong-ryul at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, HRH Yi Jun, HRH Yi Haegyeong, and Yi Young-joo, secretary general of the Prince Imperial Ui Memorial Foundation.
The Prince Imperial Ui Memorial Foundation forms a group of descendants of the Korean Imperial Family to promote the imperial culture to the general public in Korea and to the world.
