Who is Teak-Young Yun? (윤택영)
Teak-Young Yun (1876 ~ 1935) was also called a sea breeze staff army. He was the father-in-law of the Joseon Dynasty's last king, Sun-Jong. In 1904, when King Sun-Jong was the crown prince, his daughter married Sun-Jong and became Empress Sun-Jong Hyo, and Teak-Young Yun became the father-in-law of King Sun-Jong. After Sun-Jong's first wife, Empress Min died at the age of 33, his daughter married Sun-Jong at the young age of 13. As a result, although he was the father-in-law of Sun-Jong, he was 2 years younger 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 the Daehan maeil newspaper, it was reported that 'Teak-Young Yun falling into debt which he is having a trouble attaining the pressure from the creditor is an 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 Joseon Dynasty, he had the immature father-in-law which he always moaned for the reduction of debt. **This sentence seems a bit difficult to read****Perhaps you could translate it into something more simpler.**
He was a man that aggressively participated in the Japanese annexation of Korea with his brother, Duk-Young Yun. After the Japanese annexation of Korea, he gained the title of nobility from Japan and also got money to repay the liabilities. Afterwards, he had the constant sumptuous life, his debt drastically increased to 300 million won and he had to eschew to Beijing, China. Of Joseons Dynasty's aristocrats, including Teak-Youn Yun, there were 33 aristocrats who thoughtlessly squandered their family's fortunes. The government-general had to prevent this situation so they erected a place called 'Chang-Bok Hue' which let the 33 aristocrats to get rid of their liabilities.

My opinion about Teak-Young Yun
In my personal opinion, I think that Teak-Young Yun was 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 have possibly disregarded his country. So, I think that he is not a good person after all.
Good work, I guess that you translated all of this by yourself, right? it was very good, remember to use "was" not "is" for people in the past. Good idea about translating this kind of stuff. |
