Ly Xuong Can, a 31st-generation descendant of Emperor Ly Thai To, spoke about the historic bond between Vietnam and Korea at a recent seminar in Ho Chi Minh City. This message was embodied by Can’s stories of Prince Ly Long Tuong, whom he affectionately referred to as 'the forgotten prince.' He came of age as the Ly Dynasty entered into a period of decline, shortly before it ceded power to the Tran Dynasty (1225–1400). Over time, the Ly family integrated into Korean society, contributing to a centuries-long bond between Vietnam and Korea. Through the generations, the Ly family in South Korea has preserved its Vietnamese cultural heritage.
