Yi Yung-jun (Korean: 이융준; Hanja: 李隆俊; 22 November 1858 – 25 May 1859[4]) was an heir presumptive of Joseon (wonja, 원자, 元子) as the only son of Yi Byeon, King Cheoljong and Queen Cheorin.[5] From birth he became a Wonja and unlike his half-brothers, he seemed to have grown well without any illnesses, but died suddenly due to a fever on 25 May, 1859, at six months of age. The next day, the King announced his young son's death[6] and ordered his soldiers to accompany him when holding the young prince's funeral.[7][8]
