I
sincerely pay my respects to His Late Highness
Prince
LEE Ku as the grand symbol of time-honored tradition
of Korea, although there is no official royal family any more in the Republic of Korea.
But
it is needless to say that the last crown prince of former Korea must keep his
honorable dignity up as the last offshoots from
the ruined dynastic family until His
Highness will pass
away. (His Late Highness passed away in 2005 where his parents'
former residence in Tokyo)
On 16 July 2005, following the death of His Highness Prince Ku,
the Lee Family Council chose LEE Won, a descendant of the Chosun
Dynasty, as the next Head of Korean Imperial Household and they
also made his title the Hereditary Prince Imperial (Hwangsason)
in the meaning of inherited a title of Prince LEE Ku. Long live
His Royal Highness the Hereditary Prince LEE Won who is out last
imperial line in Korean history!
