Prince Nakcheon

Prince Nakcheon (Korean: 낙천군; Hanja: 洛川君; November 26, 1720 – September 28, 1737) was a royal family member of the Joseon dynasty.

[12] Around 1735 to 1737, Yeongjo decided to find a bride for his nephew, and daughters from some of the officials, including Kim Chi-man (김치만; 金致萬) and Seo Jong-su (서종수; 徐宗秀; 1678–1744[13]) from noble families, were chosen, but they both refused to have their daughter marry the prince; both of them were imprisoned by the order of Yeongjo[14][15] and Lady Seo married Prince Nakcheon in 1737.

[16] Lady Seo was a great-great-granddaughter of Princess Jeongsin, the eldest daughter of King Seonjo;[17] the couple had no children.

[19][20] On October 7, 1747, King Yeongjo ordered Yi Cheol-hai (이철해; 李喆楷), a 7-great-grandson of Deokheung Daewongun (7th son of King Jungjong and the father of Seonjo) and the second son of Yi Hyeong-jong (이형종; 李亨宗), to be the heir to Prince Nakcheon under a new name and title, Yi Yeong, Prince Dalseon (달선군 이영; 達善君李泳; December 20, 1731 – January 16, 1749).

[26] During the time of Korea under Japanese rule in 1940, the graves of Prince Nakcheon and his family were moved to Yesan County in South Chungcheong Province, as Keijō (now Seoul) was under a land consolidation.
