Yi Ik, art name Sŏngho, was a Korean Neo-Confucian scholar, early Silhak philosopher and social critic. He was born to a yangban family of the Yeoju Yi clan. Like most people in his position, he studied for the gwageo in order to gain a position of rank; but failed in his first attempt in 1705.
Yi Ik is read about 27 times a day, in 13 languages.
