Sunjong, the Emperor Yunghui (Hangul: 융희제; Hanja: 隆熙帝; RR: Yunghuije; MR: Yunghŭije; 25 March 1874–24 April 1926) was the last emperor of the Joseon Dynasty and Korean Empire in Korea, ruling from 1907 until 1910.
He was the fourth son of Emperor Gwangmu. Crown Prince Yi Cheok was made Emperor Yung-hui when the Japanese forced the abdication of Emperor Gwangmu and his reign ended with the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty of 1910. After the Annexation Treaty, Emperor Sunjong was put in the Changdeokgung confinement by the Japanese. He died on 24 April 1926 in Changdeokgung. He is buried with his two wives at the imperial tomb of Yureung (유릉, 裕陵) in the city of Namyangju.
