There is no title of King/Queen of England. King Charles III is King of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The last time the title of Queen/King of England was used is by Queen Anne in 1707 when she formed the United Kingdom.
Realistically "England" in of itself is an outdated title. Many confuse England with being synonymous with the U.K. or Great Britain, but it isn't. Edit: I do understand England is still a country today. I didn't mean to cause confusion there. I meant England is an outdated title in the *application* of naming the *WHOLE* area of the U.K. A few centuries ago, England was the title of the entire area and monarchy we now know as the U.K. Over the years, England's land was divided and altered until it got to this current point now in which England is just one country within the U.K. I'm American, and most of my fellow Americans think U.K. , England, and Great Britain are simply three different titles for one thing, which is obviously incorrect. Sorry for confusion.

Unlike England, korean people genuinely don't give a shit about house of yi and descendants of joseon royal. Because when japan colonized korea, most of royal men gave up fighting for independence or rights of our people. they lived ok life that japan provided when ordinary koreans were exploited severely and lived horrible lives under japanese rule. That's why when we got our independence, people didn't bother to consider restoration of monarchy. It was ordinary commoner men and women that devoted their lives and achieved independence. Many people woudln''t even know about Yi Won(이원). He lead the traditional royal event which i think is great for preserve and honor our culture and history. I have never seen that young korean American man before.
to be fair to british people most of them dont care much for the royal family beyond "oh yeah theyre our mascot" either edit: i was playing devils advocate why are you guys so angry at a text comment on the internet im not saying that no one in the uk cares about them just the majority dont give much headspace to them damn
I’m Korean American and my parents tell me a lot of things about Korea but they’ve never mentioned a royal family., I thought they got killed off or something
British people don't really care about the monarchy either honestly its rarely talked about and if it is its bc of scandals or to make fun of them they r kind of just there and no one cares about them

@@LittleMissMuffin82 yes but only one of the 241 Lee Yi clans are from the royal lineage. There’s deoksu Lees, Gyeongju Lees, and 239 more but ONLY the Jeonju Lees (and not all just the ones from after 1392 specifically from the one royal family) are from the royal line. If you’re a deoksu Lee for example you are not part of the royal bloodline just like if your name is Charles in England it doesn’t mean you’re related to King Charles, or if your last name is Jordan it doesn’t mean you’re related to Michael Jordan. I think you are not understanding the video is talking about a specific Lee family not just people with the last name Lee.
No.. you won't believe it bcs our Chan, Lee Jung Chan, Dino is the relative of Jeonju Lee clan. He was basically a prince too, or one of many cousins of that crown prince.

Yeah and his father was a Leutnant general in the Japanese army… That is why you don’t hear of the family. They were mostly pro-Japanese collaborators and the history of hundreds of thousands of pro-Japanese Koreans during the colonial times isn’t really told today for political reasons

Sunjong is a sad monarch he was too weak and scared of the Japanese and slowly watched as his entire country and royal family became another page in history. He lived the rest of 16 years of life imprisoned in changdeokgung palace he smoked opium and treated the palace like his own world because he was imprisoned and let the Japanese alter and disfigure the palace the way they saw fit . Most people don’t recognize him as the last monarch of the yi dynasty his spirit tablet couldn’t even enter jongmyo shrine because it was packed and full. He spent his last of his days trying to get recognized as the last monarch of Korea.
My junior's grandfather is a former member of the Japanese imperial family. My senior at university is a grandson of the Korean royal family who did not return to Korea after the war and remained in Japan.

And tho he made it here to Illinois he still suffered hard, lost his wife and 2 girls in a crash. And much more. He was a very hurt but beautiful soul. I hope he is at peace now. It's been many years now.
Ik this is a short but this vid went too fast, I couldn't even see the pics properly. I'm not going back just to see if i can pause at the right time Everytime a new one pops up 😢
He’s actually the king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the crown protectorates (Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey), Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Bahamas, Tuvalu, Papua New Guinea, Belize, Grenada, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Solomon Islands, St Kitts and Nevis and Antigua and Barbuda. He’s also the king of British overseas territories (Crown Colonies) including, but not limited to: the Falkland Islands, Pitcairn Islands, British Virgin Islands, Gibraltar etc.
Korean royal family lived as Japanese nobility during Japanese occupation. Even Korea's last emepror was treated as 'king' under Japan's emperor and his nominal status was higher than Japanese prime minister. They hardly contributed to Korean independence and some of them became absolute Japanese citizen or emigrated to US. That's why most of Korean people supported republic after the independence. The first president of Korea was cousin of Korean Royal family but he really hated them.
Interesting part of history that i never knew. Most of the Asian kings were either killed or made into vassals after the conquest of various asian countries by the Europeans, here in India, Mughal empire used to rule the whole south Asia and was amongst the only three gunpowder empires of Asia before they were defeated by the British,but most of the blame didn't solely fall on them,Persian ruler Nader Shah already ransacked Delhi few decades before the first mughal- British war and made Mughal weak and prone to attacks
Mughals didn't rule whole South Asia it was the Marathas. Mughal power crippled after aurangzeb nd Marathas rose . Also Bengal nawabs were prominent in East India. Various nawabs rose everywhere nd Marathas were supreme power holders but there was good amount of hatred amongst Maratha Peshwa which lead to decline nd selling of Maratha power to the English
@@debangansamanta Marathas didn't rule much of Afghanistan,many parts of North India and Pakistan, whole bangladesh unlike Mughals, the only empires that came close to ruling the whole subcontinent were the Mauryas, Mughals and the Brits
He can’t be king. And he doesn’t live there since the last real crown prince Yi Un was a Leutnant General in the Japanese Imperial army and barred from entering Korea post WW-2 until Park chung Hee as another pro-Japanese Korean gave him amnesty in the 60s. By that time parts of the family already settled in the US
@@jamiebutterworth3576 no they're the royal family of Korea they have existed before the split. You do know that the DPRK hasn't existed that long right?
They are really impressive, because they are living in a democratic regim and They continue with the heritage and preserve part of the Korean Culture living in the 21st Century as part of the People. Thank you.
Since monarchy is an interest of mine I like to learn about non-reigning royal houses and I have wondered what happened to the Royal House of Korea. Thank you for the information! The Imperial House of Brazil (I'm brazilian btw) also continues to exist and they are keeping the lineage. The head of the Imperial House of Brazil, Prince Luís, died earlier this year, and was suceeded by his brother Prince Bertrand. FYI: I am not a monarchist/royalist, I just like to learn about the subject.
Video is a little misleading, as in Korea, we only recognize King Gojong as the last heir, and mostly because he’s the husband of Queen Min. Yi Un was a pro Japanese imperialist and fled the country when the Japanese invaded, so he could serve in their army. He was only later admitted back into Korea, when dictator Park Chunghee gave him amnesty.
It is insane that UK has maintained their monarchy in the way they have. I mean I don't even think they do anything in the modern political realm that but they have still maintained the Windsor family so well in a modern world
The last part had me baffled :O XD what is this futuristic reality we are living in where a prince is 1. born (and lives) in another country AND 2. is the owner of a VPN service?? The last part hade me surprised and confused on three different levels
There is no title of King/Queen of England. King Charles III is King of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The last time the title of Queen/King of England was used is by Queen Anne in 1707 when she formed the United Kingdom.

Various nawabs rose everywhere nd Marathas were supreme power holders but there was good amount of hatred amongst Maratha Peshwa which lead to decline nd selling of Maratha power to the English
@@debangansamanta Marathas didn't rule much of Afghanistan,many parts of North India and Pakistan, whole bangladesh unlike Mughals, the only empires that came close to ruling the whole subcontinent were the Mauryas, Mughals and the Brits
This lowkey could've been the most smooth sponsorship transition ever 😭
Your videos are really interesting! Make me feel smarter
I love how the potential king of south korea just lives in california with his own company
So the one who can be king doesn't even live in his country lol
He can’t be king. And he doesn’t live there since the last real crown prince Yi Un was a Leutnant General in the Japanese Imperial army and barred from entering Korea post WW-2 until Park chung Hee as another pro-Japanese Korean gave him amnesty in the 60s.
By that time parts of the family already settled in the US
Because korea doesn’t have a king or queen this vid is stupid
Lets make everything about south korea royals when the queen just died 💀
Who cares
Korean royals*
@@aleckcain4142 only south korean darling
@@jamiebutterworth3576 no they're the royal family of Korea they have existed before the split. You do know that the DPRK hasn't existed that long right?
@@aleckcain4142 yes i know but now they are just royal family of south korea coz of the split
Mind blown!!!🤯
The prince of Korea made that VPN company! Why haven't they used it in thier marketing?
Here's a pitch for your next video's opening:
"9/11 was one of the most tragic events in US history. Guess what Korea's most tragic event is!"
It's when the US leveled the entire peninsula with bombing.
The Sewol Ferry incident probably??
@@lounaannajung4454 r/whoosh
Japanese brutal invasion and brutal aggressive ruled
Who cares
Amen to that
Me
U cared enough to comment?
I care
God forbid people share information on the internet nowadays.
Omg I didn’t know that the boss of Private Internet Access was a WHOLE PRINCE.
They are really impressive, because they are living in a democratic regim and They continue with the heritage and preserve part of the Korean Culture living in the 21st Century as part of the People. Thank you.
I love your content
This video can be a nice VPN advertisement 🤣
This is really cool to learn!
Thank you for sharing your heritage.
Since monarchy is an interest of mine I like to learn about non-reigning royal houses and I have wondered what happened to the Royal House of Korea. Thank you for the information!
The Imperial House of Brazil (I'm brazilian btw) also continues to exist and they are keeping the lineage. The head of the Imperial House of Brazil, Prince Luís, died earlier this year, and was suceeded by his brother Prince Bertrand.
FYI: I am not a monarchist/royalist, I just like to learn about the subject.
Video is a little misleading, as in Korea, we only recognize King Gojong as the last heir, and mostly because he’s the husband of Queen Min. Yi Un was a pro Japanese imperialist and fled the country when the Japanese invaded, so he could serve in their army. He was only later admitted back into Korea, when dictator Park Chunghee gave him amnesty.
I live in California and imagine your neighbor being the prince of Korea that’s struggling how to mow their lawn
I love how the potential king of korea just lives in california working on his vpn company
There's currently 7 kings of South Korea #iykyk 💜
The vpn part really made me think this whole video was a big advert 💀💀💀
With that kind of title and status, I’m surprised that the Kim’s haven’t tried to have him and his family killed.
This feels like Movie/anime about politics irl
A: Where's the boss today?
B: He's bestowing titles and knighting the royal knights today
founder of one of the most mainstream VPN?! LOL
It is insane that UK has maintained their monarchy in the way they have. I mean I don't even think they do anything in the modern political realm that but they have still maintained the Windsor family so well in a modern world
I like how both the UK and Korean monarchies have at least 1 American among them.
There is a movie called "the last princess", telling the last Korea princess held by japanese govt.
Bruh I love that everything in this world is interconnected
The last part had me baffled :O XD what is this futuristic reality we are living in where a prince is 1. born (and lives) in another country AND 2. is the owner of a VPN service?? The last part hade me surprised and confused on three different levels
Surprised how so many Royal Families still exist today.
I thought this going to turn into sponsored vpn ads. I mean it can be a great transition though xD
