The Joseon prince went to America and didn’t return

After a sudden natural disaster claims his life, Korean American lobbyist Park Byungjun awakens in the body of Yi Kang, the second son of Emperor Gojong of the Korean Empire, at the very moment of the prince’s death.

Armed with memories of his previous life and a deep understanding of historical events yet to unfold, Byungjun realizes he has been given a rare opportunity to reshape the future. Rather than remaining confined by palace politics, he travels to the United States and embarks on an ambitious business venture, determined to build immense wealth and secure the resources needed to influence history.

Combining modern knowledge with his new royal status, Yi Kang sets out to change the fate of both himself and the Korean Empire, proving that economic power can be just as influential as political authority.
