Yoon pays tribute to late Korean diplomat

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol (L) poses for a photo with Song Chang-joo (R), head of the Yi Jun Peace Museum, and her husband, Lee Kee-hang, as he visits the museum, formerly the De Jong Hotel, in The Hague, Netherlands, to pay tribute to Yi, a late Korean diplomat and prosecutor who, along with two other Koreans, was dispatched by Emperor Gojong in 1907 to attend the Second Hague Peace Conference in the city. Their mission to call attention to the unlawfulness of Japan's colonization of Korea failed, and Yi was found dead in the hotel room a few days later. (Pool photo) (Yonhap)
