Coming King After Learning Prince Eul Wha Arrives in America
Prince Eul Wha of Corea, heir by expectancy rather than title, lands in San Francisco to pursue a three year English studies program in the United States. He travels with Pak Yonk Kiu and Sin Sang Koc, coreans of noble birth, under escort of the former Corean legation official. The king’s second son is not the heir apparent, but is generally regarded as likely to succeed due to the presumed incapacity of the crown prince.
