Prince Imhae (Korean: 임해군; Hanja: 臨海君; 20 September 1572 – 3 June 1609; personal name Yi Jin, childhood name Yi Jin-guk), was the eldest son of King Seonjo of Joseon and the elder brother of King Gwanghae. He was known for such a violent and arrogant personality that he murdered some government officials alongside his half brothers, Prince Jeongwon (정원군) and Prince Sunhwa (순화군), but survived punishment thanks to his father's protection.
However, he was passed over for the Crown Prince's role in favour of his younger brother who would eventually take the throne and became King Gwanghae. After being investigated for crimes committed against common people, he was sent into exile to Gyodong County after the Imjin War, then died in 1609.
