Yi Si-yeong (Korean이시영; Hanja李始榮; December 3, 1868 – April 19, 1953) was a Korean politician, independence activist, educator and neo-Confucianist scholar. He was the first vice president of South Korea from 1948 to 1951.[1] Yi resigned after the National Defense Corps incident of 1951. His art names were Seongjae (성재; 省齋) or Sirimsanin (시림산인; 始林山人). Before the Japan–Korea Treaty of 1910, he had served for Joseon as the Governor of South Pyongan Province and the President of Hansung Law Court.
