Life

Yi Dang's birth father, Yi In, Prince Euneon, was an illegitimate son of Crown Prince Sado and Royal Noble Consort Suk of the Buan Im clan, a daughter of Im Ji-beon. He was later adopted by Yi Chan, Prince Eunjeon, another illegitimate son of Crown Prince Sado and younger half-brother of Prince Euneon. Prince Eunjeon's mother was Royal Noble Consort Gyeong of the Park clan.

His wife, Lady Kim of the Gwangsangun Kim clan had no issues. He had a son by his concubine, Lady Yi of the Jeonju Yi clan, named Yi Hui, who was adopted by his original full-brother, Crown Prince Sanggye, and appointed as Prince Ikpyeong.

A long time after his death, he was honored as Prince Punggye (풍계군; 豐溪君).
