  Ok, my comment is going to upset someone , but he looks like he’s going for a cool”Corona con limon” as soon as the photo op is done. She looks like she is going to rip out the throat of the photographer as soon as he is finished.

  He apparently had learning disabilities from birth and that is why the Japanese made him the Emperor because he would easier to control.

  My older sister was severely mentaly retarded, only in later years did she get " person with learning disabilities" as a label. Are you saying emperor Sunjong was mentaly retarded? Not being abrasive here, only looking for a better description. Learning disabilities describes many possible problems from retardation, autism, hyperactive, to deslexia. Also curious as to how he may have died and where he is buried. (Yes, I know I can look it up). I probobly will.

  Gerry,

  Looks like according to wikipedia, "He is buried with his two wives at the imperial tomb of Yureung (??, ??) in the city of Namyangju." Take some pictures and post for us!

  He looks like a cross-eyed and Asian version of the Frito Bandito.

  She looks like a cast member from Planet of the Apes.
