It may be Lee Whang (Tway-gay)(1501-1570) in his younger days…
But it looks exactly like Lee Yul-goke (1536-1564) with a different hat and a slightly scrunched aspect ratio.

Robert Koehler? (plastic surgery in Korea is great…)

Chickenhead both are wrong but good tries.

Yulgok Yi-Yi 1573-1627.

I concur that it’s Yulgok Yi I (?? ??), but both Wikipedia and the ??? in my wallet give his dates as 1536–1584.

Make that the o cheon won in my wallet; seems this incarnation of Wordpress doesn’t like Hangeul.

Mark got it right.
Ut videam has the correct dates of when he lived. He died before the Hideyoshi invasion and allegedly before he died he warned the government about the threat of Japanese attack and of course he was ignored.

Why would a Corean post incorrect dates?
(rhetorical question)

Apparently I didn’t close that link tag.
When do I clinch?

Waaaaaaaait a minute.
How in the hell did “Mark got it right.”?!?!?!?!?!!
His answer was, “Yulgok Yi-Yi 1573-1627″.
My answer was, “Lee Yul-goke (1536-1564)”.
“0|” CAN be spelled both ways. Granted, my date of death was wrong because 1584 looks a lot like 1564 on 5 thousand won without the use of my pocket scanning electron microscope.
I added, “with a different hat and a slightly scrunched aspect ratio.”
…both of which are correct if you compare your picture to the 5 thousand won bill.
Now, shame on you, GI. You said they were “good tries”… but obviously didn’t know who I was talking about… the first name, said as a joke because of the same hat, is the guy on the 1000 won bill.
This game is RIGGED, I tell ya!
This is going to make the Korean boxing and skating sports scandals look like little league. I’m going to load your webpage in protest and not move the cursor until this is corrected! I’m going to draw ASCII pictures of myself with a shaved head and a protest sign pulling little ASCII pigs apart and post them in every thread! I’ll throw little ASCII rocks (in various sizes) —> .oO(_) at any ASCII riot police you send.
DEMO! DEMO! DEMO!

Nevermind… it looked good when it all lined up before Wordpress dropped the leading spaces. I guess I have to stick to this:
0_.

How depressing. I guess Wordpress doesn’t support the arts.

I would like to argue for a point on this one and my bonus point on this one as well.

Chickenhead,
You had it spelled differently so the name didn’t jump out to me plus the incorrect dates led me to believe you were talking about someone else.
I think you should shave your head and wear a red head band in front of the Osan main gate in protest to the “RIGGED” Korea Finder. Better yet maybe you should call VANK?

Romanization arbitrariness aside, Lee Yul-goke still isn’t correct. Written out that way, Yul-goke appears to be his given name, which it is not. His given name is also Lee/I/Yi; Yul-gok(e) is a pen name.

Awww… Ut, cut me some slack.
When Bush asks “if our children is learning” about the “new-cue-ler” program in “Eye-rack” we still know what he means.
GI,
Korean reporters are already on the story.
“American GI Guilty of Cyber Vandalism by Deleting Yokgok’s Name From Picture”
“Foreigner Crime Rises as American Military Members Libel Yulgok With Incorrect Birth Dates”
“Korea Finder USFK Representative: ‘You are on the right track’. Tracked Vehicle Sought”
