YMedia (English): Alcheon Rang (Kim Alcheon)

Memo -Written by Yeptirani-

I'm very sorry for having bad English in this blog. Honestly, I'm not an "English-for-mother-language" person. Yeah, I don't speak English at home. And I'm still learning the English.

But, this blog is my way to learn and practice English. One of my ways. That's why, I still keep maintaining this blog although just a few one who stopped by my blog.

Maybe you will found so many strange words in this blog. That's because I don't speak the language. I'm still learning, and trying to practice my English.

I will be very grateful if you don't mind correcting my English via "comment" or via email when you find the strange words in this blog. In order for me and my blog can grow better.
Thank you so much for your attention.

Alcheon Rang (Kim Alcheon)

Hm… this name became popular some time ago because of the Korean drama called The Great Queen Seon Deok (Seon Deok Yeo Wang). Greatly played by Korean actor Lee Seung-Hyo, managed to win many hearts of women, including myself.. ^_^

Alcheon - Lee Seung Hyo

In Samguk Segi (Romance of the Three Kingdom), Duke Kim Alcheon is the son of the Duke Hyeongong the seonggol, but because his mother was a jinggol so he was including jinggol too.(To be seonggol, we have touched both parents of seonggol or direct descendant of King).

After all seonggol died, including the Queen Jindeok who ascended the throne replace Queen Seondeok, the nobles felt that Duke Alcheon who was on position as sangdaedung (prime minister/chief of the court) to become the next king.

But, General Kim Yushin was more supportive Kim Chunchu, nephew of Queen Seondeok to become king. Plus, Duke Alcheon didn't want the throne. Therefore, the throne was given to Duke Chunchu with a degree King Muyeol. While Duke Alcheon changed his name from Kim Alcheon to So Alcheon to honour King Muyeol (Kim is the name of the royal family).

Duke Alcheon was the founder of the clan So.

Duke Al Cheon is a loyal person, firm hand rules, intelligent, and generous. He does not have the charisma of General Kim Yushin or the martial arts of Sangdaedeung Bidam, but he would never hesitate to defend the Queen to the death. History records that the Duke Alcheon was a faithful bodyguard of the Queen.
