Prince Neungpung (; 1596 – November 1604), personal name Yi Myeong, was a Mid-late Joseon Royal Prince of Korea and the only son of Wonjong of Joseon and Lady of the Pyeongyang Gim clan.[1] He was the younger half brother of Injo of Joseon.[2]

Biography

Yi became 4th Officer in 1601.[3] Three years later, in November 1604, he died at age 9. Because of his early death, he did not marry. In March 1623, his older half brother, Yi Jong, rebelled and ascended to the throne as King Injo, but Myeong did not receive a royal title or posthumous name. Later, in 1872, during the 29th year of the reign of King Gojong, the Prince was given a royal title as Prince Neungpung and became Yeongjongjeonggyeong .[4] [2]

The Prince's tomb is located in Naegak-ri, Jeopdong-myeon, Pungyang-hyeon, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi Province (now around Naegak-ri, Jinjeop-eup, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi Province) but the specific location is unknown.

Since the Prince died young, so he never married. For descendants House of Yi, some princes listed themselves as his adopted son.[5] [2]
