Deok Hye-joo is the story of the last princess of the Korean Empire that history has forgotten.

The Japanese imprisoned Gojong's youngest daughter, Deokhye Ongju, to force her to study in Japan at the age of 13.

Although it was a way to study abroad, it was a kind of time taken by hostage.

Deok Hye-joo was the daughter of Gojong, the 26th king of Joseon and the first emperor of the Korean Empire. He was born in Deoksugung Palace in 1912, two years after the national ceremonies.

Deok Hye-joo was loved by his father Gojong as the youngest daughter.

For her, Gojong ordered the establishment of a kindergarten in Junmyeongdang in Deoksugung Palace.

But for a while, Deok Hye-ju lived his life as a thorny field after attending elementary school.

At a young age of 13, she was sent to Tokyo for study abroad at the request of Japan.

In Tokyo, she had to live as a pawn in Japan.

Deok Hye-joo gained Korean nationality under the name of Lee Deok-hye. He was admitted to Han River Sacred Heart Hospital in 1983 and died in 1989 at Changdeokgung Palace.

Meanwhile, Son Ye Jin played the role of Deok Hye-ju in the movie Deok Hye-ju.
