<span style="font-size:16px"><strong>3) RAS Korea Book Note: 'The World is One' </strong></span><br>
<em>by Yi Pang-ja, 1973</em>. Available from RAS Korea office.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #202020;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;">The
World is One, Yi Pang-ja’s 1973 autobiography. Princess Yi Pang-ja was
the wife of Korea’s last reigning king, Yi Un, or Yeongchinwang. She was
born into the Japanese royal family, and as a young teenager was
married to the then-Crown Prince of Korea. When King (former emperor)
Sunjong died in 1926, Yi Un was installed as Korea’s king and Pang-ja
became queen consort. For the next 20 years, or so, the royal couple
carried out dozens of public royal duties in Korea and Europe. When the
Korean republic was established, the newly adopted constitution stripped
Korea’s royal family of titles. Shortly after Yeongchinwang’s death in
1970, the princess wrote this intimate memoir.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #202020;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;">Long
