He is quite literally the crown prince of the Yi dynasty, the latest imperial lineage of Korea [1].

I know who he is.

Neither the Republic of Korea or the DPRK have a monarchy at this moment in history.

South Korea is part of America's club. Their prince was raised in Indiana as an American. There appears to be folks out there who view Korea as his birthright. Real magnanimous of us that we won't even let him run an IRC network he lawfully purchased. Talk about haan. As far as I can tell, he was just trying to help, and make IRC be more competitive with Slack.
