The Lee families from Korea came from two Vietnamese princes of the Ly' dynasty. Ly Duong Con and Ly Long Tuong landed in Korea in 1150 AD and in 1226 AD respectively. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.17.105.14 ( talk • contribs)
Yes, that's a reasonable explanation, yet it's definite some later Lee's are Vietnamese descendants (and there would be a fair amount today!). Consider the Vietnamese people in Korea page (especially the references), it states Ly Duong Con is Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do bon-gwan of the Lee family... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.180.89.151 ( talk) 16:58, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
I myself am Korean with the surname Lee. Upon further research, my family belongs to a "Seongju Lee" clan, which is different from the ones already listed. - Cassidy—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.68.134.16 ( talk) 00:35, 19 December 2006 (UTC).
Can it please be explained why 리 is given as an alternate hangul spelling? Badagnani 00:53, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
I am researching the family history of the Hongju Lee family. If you are interested in contacting me please feel free to do so at hjlproject08@yahoo.com.

The infobox is not helpful to understand the surname 李. I apologize for using strong language, but I sincerely feel that to say that 李, 異 and 伊 are the same "Lee" (using ABCs, in English) proves nothing but extreme arrogance (even if due to misunderstanding) on the part of whoever inserted the infobox. I accept that the current situation intends to reflect information on just that situation ("Lee", using ABCs, in English), however to treat "Lee" (etc. etc.) as a name in itself is a mistake (because it is not what someone calls himself by. It is merely an anglicization of what he calls himself by). To go further and (incorrectly) say that it is a "Korean name" does nothing but pour salt on a wound.
The situation is as follows:
No Korean would consider 李, 異 and 伊 at the same time. They are unrelated, in exactly the same way "Smith" and "Jones" are unrelated.
I say this as a native Korean speaker. 118.90.83.62 ( talk) 12:55, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
When and why did the initial "r" / "l" sound get dropped from the South Korean pronunciation? 94.174.92.245 ( talk) 15:02, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
I believe the omission/avoidance of "ㄹ" is modern [South] Korean is relatively recent, perhaps in the last century or so. I've read that standard 'North Korean' has forced its pronunciation in speech. Can anyone verify that? Anyway, ㄹ is avoided in general as an initial consonant. It's either dropped to "ㅇ" for "I" (as in 이) and "y"/double-line (ᅣ,ᅧ,ᅲ, etc) vowel sounds or simplified to 'ㄴ' ("n") for "o" and "u". I'm unsure of "EU" and w-vowels. Interestingly, the "n" sound (ㄴ) is generally avoided in certain places. I hope I've been partially useful. Cashie ( talk) 07:32, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
