Jeonju Yi Clan
The Jeonju Yi clan () is a Korean clan with the surname Yi. Their Bon-gwan is in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province. The clan includes the former House of Yi which ruled the Joseon dynasty and the Korean Empire. Their founder was Yi Han (). His descendant, Yi Seong-gye, seized power in a military coup and founded Joseon in 14th century. According to history books published during the Joseon period such as ''Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty'', he was Minister of Works () during the Silla Dynasty and became the ancestor of a prestigious and powerful clan that held influence from the Unified Silla period to the Goryeo period.
