Who is Teak-Young Yun? (À±Åÿµ)

        Teak-Young Yun (1876 ~ 1935) is also called as a sea breeze staff army. He was the father-in-law of Chosun Dynasty's last king, Sun-Jong. In 1904, when king Sun-Jong was a crown prince, his daughter married with Sun-Jong and became Sun-Jong Hyo empress and Teak-Young Yun became the father-in-law of king Sun-Jong. After Sun-Jong's first wife, Min empress died in the age of 33, his daughter married with Sun-Jong in the young age of 13. As a result, although he was the father-in-law of Sun-Jong, he was 2 years earlier than king Sun-Jong

      His daughter had a heavy debt because of the intense competition to be chosen by the crown prince's wife. In Dae-Han maeil newspaper, it reported that 'Teak-Young Yun falling into debt which he is having a trouble attaining the pressure from the creditor is a event that it is omnipresent and he is waiting for the elimination after informing about this situation to King Sun-Jong.' For king Sun-Jong in the hazard of Chosun Dynasty, he had the immature father-in-law which he always moaned for the reduction of debt.

My opinion about Teak-Young Yun      

      In my personal opinion, I think that Teak-Young Yun is a bad aristocrat. This is because he had a sumptuous and luxurious life, creating a lot of liabilities. If this is accurate, he might also possibly disregarded about the country. So, I think that he is not a good person after all.
