Lee Wan-yong (Korean: 이완용; pronounced [iː wɐȵoŋ]; 17 July 1858 – 12 February 1926), also spelled Yi Wan-yong or Ye Wan-yong,[1] was a Korean politician who served as the 7th Prime Minister of Korea. He is best remembered for signing the Eulsa Treaty and the Japan–Korea Annexation Treaty, which placed Korea under Japanese rule in 1910. Lee's name has since become a byword for the chinilpa, or Korean figures who have collaborated with the Japanese Empire.
