"The privately-run Imperial Family Association of ``Taehanjeguk’’ (Empire of Korea), organized in June by about a dozen descendants of the last king, held an hour-long ceremony in a hotel in downtown Seoul to have Yi Hae-won, 88, restored as the queen of South Korea."

I will lay odds that this is the Yi Seok fan club, not the Yi Family Association. Makes you wonder how much standing this little business has. I wonder if there have been disputes over the succession within the family like this in the past.
