• 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)
