Early life and educationYi Tjoune was born in Bukcheong in the province of South Hamgyong and later worked as a judge in Seoul. In 1907 he and his compatriots Sangsul Yi and Tjyongoui Yi were delegated by Emperor Gojong to attend the Second Hague Peace Conference in The Hague. He was commissioned to announce to the international community that Korea was an independent state and that the Japanese invasion was unlawful. The trio traveled for two months on the Trans-Siberian Railway to The Hague. CareerThe Korean delegation was not officially invited, although the Netherlands initially had planned. However, the Japanese government was able to step in and succeeded in convincing the other delegates of the conference not to let Korea participate. A few days after Yi Tjoune protested against the decision, he was found dead in his room at the Hotel De Jong in the Wagenstraat, the Hague. His cause of death is unknown, but in South Korea it is assumed that he committed suicide due to the rejection by the international community.{{citation needed|date=June 2012}} In time, however, Japanese newspapers suggested that he was killed by Japanese spies.{{citation needed|date=June 2012}} The mission had already failed. However, the three Koreans succeeded in receiving worldwide attention due to a press conference and receiving attention in an independent newspaper which covered the Peace Conference. The direct result of their mission was that the Korean Emperor, Gojong was forced to resign in favor of his son Sunjong. LegacyYi was buried at the Oud Eik en Duinen cemetery in The Hague. His remains were exhumed on September 26, 1963 and transferred to South Korea and there solemnly reburied. The former hotel De Jong, where Yi died, is since 1995 the Yi Jun Peace Museum, a private museum in memory of Yi Tjoune and dedicated to the promotion of peace. The museum was founded by a South Korean businessman Lee Kee-Hang and his wife Song Chang-ju. See also{{Portal|Biography}}
