I recall hearing somewhere that this brave and strong-willed woman also put up a last bit of resistance when the Japanese moved in to finally take over. It was something involving the great seal of state - she hid it, or refused to hand it over, something like that.
Syngman Rhee's fear of her, and his keeping her virtually imprisoned, is a sign of the great respect she was held in by the Korean people. Princess Pangja was also greatly respected and loved, but was not, being Japanese, a potential ruler. Queen Yun was. Very much like her predecessor, Queen Min (Kojong's wife). --Dan 16:01, 2 March 2006 (UTC)profsnow
To people who'd like to help with this, I have some images that would be useful to upload of Queen Yun. For example, Image:Queen_Yun_Returns.jpg. I'd appreciate help with how to handle these images of uncertain lineage and copyright. --Dan 22:54, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
you have to ascertain that the image is freely licensed (no restriction on commercial use) or public domain (generally, over 100 yrs old for 2d images). adding images properly is not for the faint of heart, imho. see WP:IUP, for starters, there's a lot to read. Appleby 23:18, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Okay, let me giveit a try. Here's an image I know is over 100 years old - it's Queen Yun's wedding photo: Image:Queen_Yun.jpg--Dan 23:33, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A sweet anecdote
My wife just told me this anecdote which illustrates the Korean love of learning. My wife's mother's younger brother married, in about 1955 or so, the daughter of Queen Yun's younger sister. My wife was flower girl at the wedding, and as part of the whole deal, Queen Yun gave her a gift - a recently translated to Korean book series of children's classic books. My wife especially remembers reading and loving "Treasure Island". --Dan 21:00, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Queen Yun Returns.jpg
Image:Queen Yun Returns.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
