Biography

Lee Beom-seok was born in Gyeongseong (now Seoul) on October 20th, 1900. Lee's father was an officer of the Joseon Dynasty and he was a descendent of Sejong the Great's son 'Gwangpyeong Daegun (Hangul: 광평대군; Hanja: 廣平大君)'. ^[3] Lee Beom-seok was exiled to the Republic of China after participating in independence activities as a teenager. In 1919 he started studying at the Shinheung military academy (Hangul: 신흥무관학교; Hanja: 新興武官學校), a military school whose goal was to build a new army to fight for independence. Soon after, Lee fought in the Battle of Cheongsanni, a six-day engagement in eastern Manchuria. He later served as a general in the Korean Liberation Army for the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea.

In 1945, Lee attempted to return to Korea but was forced to remain in exile in China. In 1946, he returned to Korea and he helped found the Korean National Youth Corps with Ahn Ho-sang.^[4] He was opposed to Kim Gu's South-North negotiations (Hangul: 남북협상; Hanja: 南北協商) and allied himself with Lee Syng-man to establish a unitary government in South Korea. He served as the new country's first prime minister from July 31st, 1948 to April 20th, 1950.

Later life and death

Following his term in office, he served as Korean ambassador to the Republic of China and as Secretary of the Interior. He ran for the vice presidency in 1952, and again in 1956, but failed to win either election. Throughout the 1960's he remained a staunch opposition leader to the ruling party. ^[5]At the end of his career Lee served as an adviser on the Board of National Unification(Hangul: 국토통일원; Hanja: 國土統一院) and mentored Park Chung-hee as a Senator of the nation.

On May the 10th, 1972 he was granted a philosophy doctorate by the Taiwan Chinese Academy. The following day, May 11th, he died of a myocardial infarction in the Seongmo hospital of Myeong-dong in Seoul. His state funeral was held in Square of Namsan Mountain on May 17th. He was buried in Seoul National Cemetery. ^[6]
