The Jeonju Lee Royal Family Association[1] (Korean: 전주이씨대동종약원) is a family association based in South Korea founded by the Jeonju Yi (Lee) clan, the household of Joseon and the Korean Empire, which previously ruled Korea. The association originated from several national institutions of the Joseon dynasty. Its recent main activities following World War II include holding annual Jongmyo jerye, the worship rites of the royal ancestors, and compiling genealogy books of the descendants from the House of Yi.
