Biography
About
Sunjong, personal name Yi Cheok, also known as the Yunghui Emperor, was the last Korean monarch. He ruled from 1907 to 1910 with the reign of 3 years. He was the second and last emperor of the Korean Empire. Sunjong was elevated to the throne after his predecessor and father, Gojong, was forced to abdicate by the Empire of Japan. Hence, Sunjong has been characterized by historians as being a powerless puppet ruler of the Japanese, reigning for just three years before Korea was officially annexed in 1910.
