, ▁an ▁arist ocratic ▁and ▁influential ▁clan ▁of ▁the ▁ 1 9 th ▁century . ▁Che ol j ong ▁was ▁child less ▁and ▁had ▁not ▁appointed ▁an ▁he ir . ▁The ▁And ong ▁Kim ▁clan ▁had ▁ris en ▁to ▁power ▁through ▁inter mar riage ▁with ▁the ▁royal ▁House ▁of ▁Y i . ▁Queen ▁Che or in , ▁Che ol j ong ' s ▁cons ort ▁and ▁a ▁member ▁of ▁the ▁And ong ▁Kim ▁clan , ▁claimed ▁the ▁right ▁to ▁choose ▁the ▁next ▁king , ▁although ▁tradition ally ▁the ▁most ▁senior ▁Queen ▁Dow ager ▁had ▁the ▁official ▁authority ▁to ▁select ▁the ▁new ▁king . ▁Che ol j ong ' s ▁cousin , ▁Grand ▁Royal ▁Dow ager ▁Sin je ong , ▁the ▁wid ow ▁of ▁He on j ong ▁of ▁Jose on ' s ▁father ▁of ▁the ▁P ung y ang ▁Jo ▁clan , ▁who ▁too ▁had ▁ris en ▁to ▁prom in ence ▁by ▁inter mar riage ▁with ▁the ▁Y i ▁family , ▁currently ▁held ▁this ▁title . ▁ ▁Queen ▁Sin je ong ▁saw ▁an ▁opportunity ▁to ▁advance ▁the ▁cause ▁of ▁the ▁P ung y ang ▁Jo ▁clan , ▁the ▁only ▁true ▁rival ▁of ▁the ▁And ong ▁Kim ▁clan ▁in ▁Korean ▁politics . ▁As ▁Che ol j ong ▁succ umb ed ▁to ▁his ▁illness , ▁the ▁Grand ▁Royal ▁Dow ager ▁Queen ▁was ▁approached ▁by ▁Y i ▁Ha - e ung , ▁a ▁distant ▁desc endant ▁of ▁King ▁In jo ▁( r . 1 6 2 3 – 1 6 4 9 ), ▁whose ▁father ▁was
▁made ▁an ▁adopt ive ▁son ▁of ▁Prince ▁E un sin , ▁a ▁nep hew ▁of ▁King ▁Ye ong jo ▁( r . 1 7 2 4 – 1 7 7 6 ). ▁ ▁The ▁branch ▁that ▁Y i ▁Ha - e ung ' s ▁family ▁belonged ▁to ▁was ▁an ▁obsc ure ▁line ▁of ▁descend ants ▁of ▁the ▁Y i ▁clan , ▁which ▁survived ▁the ▁often ▁deadly ▁political ▁intr igue ▁that ▁frequently ▁em bro iled ▁the ▁Jose on ▁court ▁by ▁forming ▁no ▁affili ation ▁with ▁any ▁fa ctions . ▁Y i ▁Ha - e ung ▁himself ▁was ▁in el igible ▁for ▁the ▁throne ▁due ▁to ▁a ▁law ▁that ▁dict ated ▁that ▁any ▁possible ▁he ir ▁had ▁to ▁be ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁generation ▁after ▁the ▁most ▁recent ▁inc umb ent ▁of ▁the ▁throne , ▁but ▁his ▁second ▁son ▁Y i ▁My e ong b ok ▁was ▁a ▁possible ▁success or ▁to ▁the ▁throne . ▁ ▁The ▁P ung y ang ▁Jo ▁clan ▁saw ▁that ▁Y i ▁My e ong b ok ▁was ▁only ▁ 1 2 ▁years ▁old ▁and ▁would ▁not ▁be ▁able ▁to ▁rule ▁in ▁his ▁own ▁name ▁until ▁he ▁came ▁of ▁age , ▁and ▁that ▁they ▁could ▁easily ▁influence ▁Y i ▁Ha - e ung , ▁who ▁would ▁be ▁acting ▁as ▁reg ent ▁for ▁his ▁son . ▁As ▁soon ▁as ▁news ▁of ▁Che ol j ong ' s ▁death ▁reached ▁Y i ▁Ha - e ung ▁through ▁his ▁intr icate ▁network ▁of ▁sp ies ▁in ▁the ▁palace , ▁he ▁and ▁the ▁P ung
y ang ▁Jo ▁clan ▁took ▁the ▁her edit ary ▁royal ▁seal ▁( cons ider ed ▁necessary ▁for ▁a ▁legitimate ▁reign ▁to ▁take ▁place ▁and ▁arist ocratic ▁recognition ▁to ▁be ▁received ), ▁effectively ▁giving ▁Queen ▁Sin je ong ▁absolute ▁power ▁to ▁select ▁the ▁success or ▁to ▁the ▁throne . ▁By ▁the ▁time ▁Che ol j ong ' s ▁death ▁became ▁a ▁known ▁fact , ▁the ▁And ong ▁Kim ▁clan ▁was ▁power less ▁to ▁act ▁according ▁to ▁law ▁because ▁the ▁seal ▁already ▁lay ▁in ▁the ▁hands ▁of ▁Grand ▁Royal ▁Dow ager ▁Queen ▁Sin je ong . ▁ ▁In ▁the ▁autumn ▁of ▁ 1 8 6 4 , ▁Y i ▁My e ong b ok ▁was ▁c rowned ▁as ▁King ▁Go j ong ▁of ▁Jose on , ▁with ▁his ▁father ▁titled ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un ▁( ▁" Gr and ▁Internal ▁Prince "). ▁ ▁The ▁strongly ▁Conf uc ian ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un ▁proved ▁to ▁be ▁a ▁capable ▁and ▁calcul ating ▁leader ▁in ▁the ▁early ▁years ▁of ▁Go j ong ' s ▁reign . ▁He ▁abol ished ▁the ▁old ▁government ▁institutions ▁that ▁had ▁become ▁corrupt ▁under ▁the ▁rule ▁of ▁various ▁cl ans , ▁rev ised ▁the ▁law ▁codes ▁along ▁with ▁the ▁household ▁laws ▁of ▁the ▁royal ▁court ▁and ▁the ▁rules ▁of ▁court ▁ritual , ▁and ▁heavily ▁reform ed ▁the ▁military ▁techniques ▁of ▁the ▁royal ▁arm ies . ▁Within ▁a ▁few ▁short ▁years ▁he ▁was ▁able ▁to ▁secure ▁complete ▁control ▁of ▁the ▁court , ▁and ▁eventually ▁receive ▁the ▁submission ▁of
▁the ▁P ung y ang ▁Jos ▁while ▁successfully ▁dispos ing ▁of ▁the ▁last ▁of ▁the ▁And ong ▁K ims , ▁whose ▁corruption , ▁he ▁believed , ▁was ▁responsible ▁for ▁the ▁country ' s ▁decline ▁in ▁the ▁ 1 9 th ▁century . ▁ ▁A ▁new ▁queen ▁The ▁future ▁queen - cons ort ▁was ▁born ▁into ▁the ▁arist ocratic ▁Min ▁family ▁of ▁the ▁Ye o he ung ▁branch ▁on ▁ 1 9 ▁October ▁ 1 8 5 1 ▁in ▁Ye oj u , ▁G ye ong gi ▁Province , ▁where ▁the ▁clan ▁origin ated . ▁ ▁The ▁Ye o he ung ▁M ins ▁were ▁a ▁noble ▁clan ▁bo asting ▁many ▁highly ▁positioned ▁bureau cr ats ▁in ▁its ▁ill ust ri ous ▁past , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁two ▁queen ▁cons orts , ▁Queen ▁W ong ye ong , ▁the ▁wife ▁of ▁T ae j ong ▁of ▁Jose on , ▁and ▁Queen ▁In hy e on , ▁the ▁wife ▁of ▁Su k j ong ▁of ▁Jose on . ▁ ▁Before ▁her ▁marriage , ▁the ▁Em press ▁was ▁known ▁as ▁the ▁daughter ▁of ▁Min ▁Ch iro k ▁( ). ▁While ▁some ▁fict ional ▁accounts ▁call ▁her ▁Min ▁Jay e ong , ▁this ▁name ▁has ▁not ▁been ▁confirmed ▁by ▁historical ▁sources . ▁At ▁the ▁age ▁of ▁eight ▁she ▁had ▁lost ▁her ▁father . ▁Then , ▁her ▁mother , ▁Lady ▁H anch ang ▁of ▁the ▁Y i ▁clan ▁( ), ▁and ▁she ▁moved ▁to ▁the ▁House ▁of ▁Gam god ang ▁( 감 고 당 ) ▁and ▁lived ▁there ▁until
▁she ▁moved ▁to ▁the ▁palace ▁and ▁became ▁Queen . ▁ ▁When ▁Go j ong ▁reached ▁the ▁age ▁of ▁ 1 5 , ▁his ▁father ▁decided ▁it ▁was ▁time ▁for ▁him ▁to ▁be ▁married . ▁The ▁Da ew ong un ▁was ▁dil igent ▁in ▁his ▁search ▁for ▁a ▁queen ▁who ▁would ▁serve ▁his ▁purposes : ▁she ▁must ▁have ▁no ▁close ▁relatives ▁who ▁would ▁har bor ▁political ▁amb itions , ▁yet ▁come ▁from ▁a ▁noble ▁line age ▁so ▁as ▁to ▁justify ▁his ▁choice ▁to ▁the ▁court ▁and ▁the ▁people . ▁C andid ates ▁were ▁rejected ▁one ▁by ▁one , ▁until ▁both ▁the ▁Da ew ong un ' s ▁wife ▁Ye o he ung ▁( Pr in cess ▁Cons ort ▁to ▁the ▁Prince ▁of ▁the ▁Great ▁Court ; ▁Ye o he ung ▁Bud a eb u in ; ▁ 여 흥 부 대 부 인 , ▁ <0xE9> <0xA9> <0xAA> <0xE8> <0x88> <0x88> 府 大 夫 人 ) ▁and ▁his ▁mother ▁proposed ▁a ▁bride ▁from ▁their ▁own ▁clan , ▁the ▁Ye o he ung ▁Min . ▁The ▁two ▁women ▁described ▁the ▁girl ▁persu as ively : ▁she ▁was ▁or phan ed ▁and ▁possessed ▁beautiful ▁features , ▁a ▁healthy ▁body , ▁and ▁an ▁ordinary ▁level ▁of ▁education . ▁ ▁The ▁bride ▁under w ent ▁a ▁strict ▁selection ▁process , ▁cul min ating ▁in ▁a ▁meeting ▁with ▁the ▁Da ew ong un ▁on ▁ 6 ▁March , ▁and ▁a ▁marriage ▁ceremony ▁on ▁ 2 0 ▁March ▁ 1 8 6 6 . ▁Min , ▁barely ▁ 1 6
, ▁married ▁the ▁ 1 5 - year - old ▁king ▁and ▁was ▁invested ▁in ▁a ▁ceremony ▁( 책 비 , ▁cha ek bi ) ▁as ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁of ▁Jose on . ▁Two ▁places ▁assert ▁claims ▁on ▁the ▁marriage ▁and ▁asc ension : ▁both ▁In je ong ▁Hall ▁( 인 정 전 ) ▁at ▁Ch ang de ok ▁Palace ▁and ▁Nor ak ▁Hall ▁( 노 락 당 ) ▁at ▁Un hy e on ▁Palace . ▁The ▁w ig ▁typically ▁worn ▁by ▁br ides ▁at ▁royal ▁wed dings ▁was ▁so ▁heavy ▁for ▁the ▁slight ▁ 1 6 - year - old ▁bride ▁that ▁a ▁tall ▁court ▁lady ▁was ▁spec ially ▁assigned ▁to ▁support ▁it ▁from ▁the ▁back . ▁Direct ly ▁following ▁the ▁wedding ▁was ▁the ▁three - day ▁ceremony ▁for ▁the ▁rever encing ▁of ▁the ▁ancestors . ▁ ▁Old er ▁officials ▁soon ▁noticed ▁that ▁the ▁new ▁queen ▁cons ort ▁was ▁an ▁assert ive ▁and ▁ambitious ▁woman , ▁unlike ▁other ▁que ens ▁preced ing ▁her . ▁She ▁did ▁not ▁participate ▁in ▁lav ish ▁parties , ▁rarely ▁commissioned ▁extr av ag ant ▁f ash ions ▁from ▁the ▁royal ▁at el iers , ▁and ▁almost ▁never ▁hosted ▁afternoon ▁tea ▁parties ▁with ▁the ▁various ▁princess es ▁of ▁the ▁royal ▁family ▁or ▁powerful ▁arist ocratic ▁ladies ▁unless ▁politics ▁required ▁her ▁to ▁do ▁so . ▁While ▁she ▁was ▁expected ▁to ▁act ▁as ▁an ▁icon ▁for ▁Korea ' s ▁high ▁society , ▁the ▁queen ▁rejected ▁this ▁role . ▁Instead , ▁she ▁devoted ▁time ▁to ▁reading ▁books ▁generally ▁reserved ▁for
▁men ▁( such ▁as ▁Spring ▁and ▁Aut umn ▁Ann als ▁and ▁its ▁accompanying ▁Zu o ▁Z h uan , ) ▁and ▁further ed ▁her ▁own ▁education ▁in ▁history , ▁science , ▁politics , ▁philosophy , ▁and ▁religion . ▁ ▁The ▁beg innings ▁ ▁Court ▁dom ination ▁By ▁the ▁age ▁of ▁twenty , ▁the ▁queen ▁cons ort ▁had ▁begun ▁to ▁w ander ▁outside ▁her ▁apartments ▁at ▁Ch ang gy e ong ▁Palace ▁and ▁to ▁play ▁an ▁active ▁part ▁in ▁politics ▁in ▁spite ▁of ▁the ▁Da ew ong un ▁and ▁various ▁high ▁officials , ▁who ▁viewed ▁her ▁as ▁becoming ▁med d les ome . ▁The ▁political ▁struggle ▁between ▁the ▁queen ▁cons ort ▁and ▁the ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un ▁became ▁public ▁when ▁the ▁son ▁she ▁bore ▁died ▁prem ature ly ▁four ▁days ▁after ▁birth . ▁The ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un ▁publicly ▁accused ▁her ▁of ▁being ▁unable ▁to ▁bear ▁a ▁healthy ▁male ▁child , ▁while ▁she ▁suspected ▁her ▁father - in - law ▁of ▁foul ▁play ▁through ▁the ▁g ins eng ▁em etic ▁treatment ▁he ▁had ▁brought ▁her . ▁The ▁Da ew ong un ▁then ▁directed ▁Go j ong ▁to ▁con ceive ▁through ▁a ▁conc ub ine , ▁Lee ▁G wi - in ▁from ▁the ▁Ye ong bo ▁Hall ▁( 영 보 당 귀 인 ▁ 이 씨 ), ▁and ▁on ▁ 1 6 ▁April ▁ 1 8 6 8 , ▁she ▁gave ▁birth ▁to ▁Prince ▁W an h wa ▁( 완 화 군 ), ▁to ▁whom ▁the ▁Da
ew ong un ▁gave ▁the ▁title ▁of ▁crown ▁prince . ▁ ▁However , ▁the ▁queen ▁cons ort ▁had ▁begun ▁to ▁secret ly ▁form ▁a ▁powerful ▁f action ▁against ▁the ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un , ▁once ▁she ▁reached ▁ad ul th ood ; ▁now , ▁with ▁the ▁backing ▁of ▁high ▁officials , ▁scholars , ▁and ▁members ▁of ▁her ▁clan , ▁she ▁sought ▁to ▁remove ▁the ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un ▁from ▁power . ▁Min ▁Se ung - ho , ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁queen ▁cons ort ' s ▁relatives , ▁along ▁with ▁court ▁scholar ▁Ch oe ▁I k - hy e on , ▁dev ised ▁a ▁formal ▁im pe achment ▁of ▁the ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un ▁to ▁be ▁presented ▁to ▁the ▁Royal ▁Council ▁of ▁Administration , ▁arguing ▁that ▁Go j ong , ▁now ▁ 2 2 , ▁should ▁rule ▁in ▁his ▁own ▁right . ▁In ▁ 1 8 7 2 , ▁with ▁the ▁approval ▁of ▁Go j ong ▁and ▁the ▁Royal ▁Council , ▁the ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un ▁was ▁forced ▁to ▁retire ▁to ▁Un hy e ong ung , ▁his ▁estate ▁at ▁Yang ju . ▁The ▁queen ▁cons ort ▁then ▁ban ished ▁the ▁royal ▁conc ub ine ▁along ▁with ▁her ▁child ▁to ▁a ▁village ▁outside ▁the ▁capital , ▁stripped ▁of ▁royal ▁titles . ▁The ▁child ▁soon ▁died ▁afterwards . ▁ ▁With ▁these ▁exp uls ions , ▁the ▁queen ▁cons ort ▁gained ▁complete ▁control ▁over ▁her ▁court , ▁and ▁placed ▁family
▁members ▁in ▁high ▁court ▁positions . ▁Finally , ▁she ▁was ▁a ▁queen ▁cons ort ▁who ▁ruled ▁along ▁with ▁her ▁husband ; ▁more over ▁she ▁was ▁recognized ▁as ▁being ▁distinct ly ▁more ▁polit ically ▁active ▁than ▁Go j ong . ▁ ▁The ▁" H erm it ▁Kingdom " ▁emer ges ▁After ▁Korean ▁ref usal ▁to ▁receive ▁Japanese ▁env o ys ▁announ cing ▁the ▁Me iji ▁Rest oration , ▁some ▁Japanese ▁arist ocr ats ▁fav ored ▁an ▁immediate ▁invasion ▁of ▁Korea , ▁but ▁the ▁idea ▁was ▁quickly ▁dropped ▁upon ▁the ▁return ▁of ▁the ▁I w ak ura ▁Mission ▁on ▁the ▁grounds ▁that ▁the ▁new ▁Japanese ▁government ▁was ▁neither ▁polit ically ▁nor ▁f isc ally ▁stable ▁enough ▁to ▁start ▁a ▁war . ▁When ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un ▁was ▁ou sted ▁from ▁politics , ▁Japan ▁renew ed ▁efforts ▁to ▁establish ▁ties ▁with ▁Korea , ▁but ▁the ▁Imperial ▁env oy ▁arriving ▁at ▁D ong na e ▁in ▁ 1 8 7 3 ▁was ▁turned ▁away . ▁ ▁The ▁Japanese ▁government , ▁which ▁sought ▁to ▁em ulate ▁the ▁em pires ▁of ▁Europe ▁in ▁their ▁tradition ▁of ▁en for cing ▁so - called ▁Une qual ▁Treat ies , ▁responded ▁by ▁sending ▁the ▁Japanese ▁gun boat ▁Un y ō ▁towards ▁Bus an ▁and ▁another ▁war ship ▁to ▁the ▁Bay ▁of ▁Ye ong he ung ▁on ▁the ▁pre text ▁of ▁surve ying ▁sea ▁routes , ▁meaning ▁to ▁pressure ▁Korea ▁into ▁opening ▁its ▁doors . ▁The ▁Un y ō ▁vent ured ▁into ▁restricted ▁waters ▁off ▁G an gh wa
▁Island , ▁prov oking ▁an ▁attack ▁from ▁Korean ▁shore ▁batteries . ▁The ▁Un y ō ▁fled ▁but ▁the ▁Japanese ▁used ▁the ▁incident ▁as ▁a ▁pre text ▁to ▁force ▁a ▁treat y ▁on ▁the ▁Korean ▁government . ▁In ▁ 1 8 7 6 ▁six ▁naval ▁vessels ▁and ▁an ▁imperial ▁Japanese ▁env oy ▁were ▁sent ▁to ▁G an gh wa ▁Island ▁to ▁enforce ▁this ▁command . ▁ ▁A ▁majority ▁of ▁the ▁royal ▁court ▁fav ored ▁absolute ▁isolation ism , ▁but ▁Japan ▁had ▁demonstrated ▁its ▁willing ness ▁to ▁use ▁force . ▁After ▁numerous ▁meetings , ▁officials ▁were ▁sent ▁to ▁sign ▁the ▁G an gh wa ▁Treat y , ▁a ▁treat y ▁that ▁had ▁been ▁model ed ▁after ▁treat ies ▁imposed ▁on ▁Japan ▁by ▁the ▁United ▁States . ▁The ▁treat y ▁was ▁signed ▁on ▁ 1 5 ▁February ▁ 1 8 7 6 , ▁thus ▁opening ▁Korea ▁to ▁Japan ▁and ▁the ▁world . ▁ ▁Var ious ▁ports ▁were ▁forced ▁to ▁open ▁to ▁Japanese ▁trade , ▁and ▁Japanese ▁now ▁had ▁rights ▁to ▁buy ▁land ▁in ▁designated ▁areas . ▁The ▁treat y ▁also ▁permitted ▁the ▁opening ▁of ▁the ▁major ▁ports , ▁In che on ▁and ▁W ons an ▁to ▁Japanese ▁merch ants . ▁For ▁the ▁first ▁few ▁years , ▁Japan ▁enjoyed ▁a ▁near ▁total ▁mon opol y ▁of ▁trade , ▁while ▁Korean ▁merch ants ▁suffered ▁serious ▁losses . ▁ ▁A ▁social ▁revolution ▁In ▁ 1 8 7 7 , ▁a ▁mission ▁headed ▁by ▁Kim ▁Gi - su ▁was ▁commissioned ▁by ▁Go j ong ▁and ▁Min ▁to ▁study ▁Japanese ▁western
ization ▁and ▁its ▁intentions ▁for ▁Korea . ▁ ▁In ▁ 1 8 8 1 ▁another ▁mission , ▁this ▁one ▁under ▁Kim ▁Hong j ip ▁went ▁to ▁Japan . ▁Kim ▁and ▁his ▁team ▁were ▁shocked ▁at ▁how ▁large ▁the ▁Japanese ▁cities ▁had ▁become . ▁He ▁noted ▁that ▁only ▁ 5 0 ▁years ▁before , ▁Se oul ▁and ▁Bus an ▁of ▁Korea ▁were ▁met ropolitan ▁centers ▁of ▁East ▁Asia , ▁dominant ▁over ▁under develop ed ▁Japanese ▁cities ; ▁but ▁now , ▁in ▁ 1 8 7 7 , ▁with ▁Tokyo ▁and ▁Os aka ▁western ized ▁throughout ▁the ▁Me iji ▁Rest oration , ▁Se oul ▁and ▁Bus an ▁looked ▁like ▁vest iges ▁of ▁the ▁ancient ▁past . ▁ ▁When ▁they ▁were ▁in ▁Japan , ▁Kim ▁met ▁with ▁the ▁Chinese ▁amb assador ▁to ▁Tokyo , ▁Ho ▁Ju - ch ang ▁and ▁the ▁council or ▁Hu ang ▁Ts un - hs ien . ▁They ▁discussed ▁the ▁international ▁situation ▁of ▁Q ing ▁China ▁and ▁Jose on ' s ▁place ▁in ▁the ▁rapidly ▁changing ▁world . ▁Hu ang ▁T su - hs ien ▁presented ▁to ▁Kim ▁a ▁book ▁he ▁had ▁written ▁called ▁Korean ▁Str ategy . ▁ ▁China ▁was ▁no ▁longer ▁the ▁he g emon ic ▁power ▁of ▁East ▁Asia , ▁and ▁Korea ▁no ▁longer ▁enjoyed ▁military ▁superior ity ▁over ▁Japan . ▁In ▁addition , ▁the ▁Russian ▁Empire ▁began ▁expansion ▁into ▁Asia . ▁Hu ang ▁advised ▁that ▁Korea ▁should ▁adopt ▁a ▁pro - Ch inese ▁policy , ▁while ▁ret aining ▁close ▁ties ▁with ▁Japan ▁for ▁the ▁time ▁being . ▁He
▁also ▁advised ▁an ▁alliance ▁with ▁the ▁United ▁States ▁for ▁protection ▁against ▁Russia . ▁He ▁advised ▁opening ▁trade ▁relations ▁with ▁Western ▁nations ▁and ▁ad op ting ▁Western ▁technology . ▁He ▁noted ▁that ▁China ▁had ▁tried ▁but ▁failed ▁due ▁to ▁its ▁size , ▁but ▁Korea ▁was ▁smaller ▁than ▁Japan . ▁He ▁viewed ▁Korea ▁as ▁a ▁barrier ▁to ▁Japanese ▁expansion ▁into ▁main land ▁Asia . ▁He ▁suggested ▁Korean ▁youth s ▁be ▁sent ▁to ▁China ▁and ▁Japan ▁to ▁study , ▁and ▁Western ▁teachers ▁of ▁technical ▁and ▁scientific ▁subjects ▁be ▁invited ▁to ▁Korea . ▁ ▁When ▁Kim ▁returned ▁to ▁Se oul , ▁Queen ▁Min ▁took ▁special ▁interest ▁in ▁Hu ang ' s ▁book ▁and ▁commissioned ▁copies ▁be ▁sent ▁out ▁to ▁all ▁the ▁minister s . ▁She ▁had ▁hoped ▁to ▁win ▁y ang ban ▁( ar ist ocratic ) ▁approval ▁to ▁invite ▁Western ▁nations ▁into ▁Korea , ▁to ▁open ▁up ▁trade ▁with ▁and ▁keep ▁Japan ▁in ▁check . ▁She ▁wanted ▁to ▁first ▁allow ▁Japan ▁to ▁help ▁in ▁the ▁modern ization ▁process ▁but ▁towards ▁completion ▁of ▁certain ▁projects , ▁have ▁them ▁be ▁driven ▁out ▁by ▁Western ▁powers . ▁ ▁However , ▁the ▁y ang ban ▁arist ocr acy ▁still ▁opposed ▁opening ▁the ▁country ▁to ▁the ▁West . ▁Ch oi ▁I k - hy un , ▁who ▁had ▁helped ▁with ▁the ▁im pe achment ▁of ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un , ▁s ided ▁with ▁the ▁isolation ists , ▁saying ▁that ▁the ▁Japanese ▁were ▁just ▁like ▁the ▁" W estern ▁bar bar ians " ▁who ▁would ▁spread ▁sub vers
ive ▁not ions ▁like ▁Catholic ism ▁( which ▁had ▁been ▁a ▁major ▁issue ▁during ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un ' s ▁reign ▁and ▁had ▁been ▁qu ashed ▁by ▁massive ▁per secut ions ). ▁ ▁To ▁the ▁soc ially ▁conservative ▁y ang ban , ▁Queen ▁Min ' s ▁plan ▁meant ▁the ▁destruction ▁of ▁social ▁order . ▁The ▁response ▁to ▁the ▁distribution ▁of ▁" K ore an ▁Str ategy " ▁was ▁a ▁joint ▁memor and um ▁to ▁the ▁throne ▁from ▁scholars ▁in ▁every ▁province ▁of ▁the ▁kingdom . ▁They ▁stated ▁that ▁the ▁ideas ▁in ▁the ▁book ▁were ▁mere ▁abstract ▁theories , ▁un real izable ▁in ▁practice , ▁and ▁that ▁the ▁adoption ▁of ▁Western ▁technology ▁was ▁not ▁the ▁only ▁way ▁to ▁en rich ▁the ▁country . ▁They ▁demanded ▁that ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁env o ys ▁ex changed , ▁ships ▁engaged ▁in ▁trade ▁and ▁articles ▁of ▁trade ▁be ▁strictly ▁limited , ▁and ▁that ▁all ▁foreign ▁books ▁in ▁Korea ▁should ▁be ▁destroyed . ▁ ▁Despite ▁these ▁ob jections , ▁in ▁ 1 8 8 1 , ▁a ▁large ▁fact - find ing ▁mission ▁was ▁sent ▁to ▁Japan ▁to ▁stay ▁for ▁seventy ▁days ▁observ ing ▁Japanese ▁government ▁offices , ▁fact ories , ▁military ▁and ▁police ▁organizations , ▁and ▁business ▁practices . ▁They ▁also ▁obtained ▁information ▁about ▁innov ations ▁in ▁the ▁Japanese ▁government ▁copied ▁from ▁the ▁West , ▁especially ▁the ▁proposed ▁constitution . ▁ ▁On ▁the ▁basis ▁of ▁these ▁reports , ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁began ▁the ▁re organ ization ▁of ▁the ▁government . ▁Tw elve ▁new
▁b ure aus ▁were ▁established ▁that ▁dealt ▁with ▁foreign ▁relations ▁with ▁the ▁West , ▁China , ▁and ▁Japan . ▁Other ▁b ure aus ▁were ▁established ▁to ▁effectively ▁deal ▁with ▁commerce . ▁A ▁bureau ▁of ▁the ▁military ▁was ▁created ▁to ▁modern ize ▁weapons ▁and ▁techniques . ▁Civil ian ▁departments ▁were ▁also ▁established ▁to ▁import ▁Western ▁technology . ▁ ▁In ▁the ▁same ▁year , ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁signed ▁documents , ▁arr anging ▁for ▁top ▁military ▁students ▁to ▁be ▁sent ▁to ▁Q ing ▁China . ▁The ▁Japanese ▁quickly ▁volunte ered ▁to ▁supply ▁military ▁students ▁with ▁rif les ▁and ▁train ▁a ▁unit ▁of ▁the ▁Korean ▁army ▁to ▁use ▁them . ▁She ▁agreed ▁but ▁reminded ▁the ▁Japanese ▁that ▁the ▁students ▁would ▁still ▁be ▁sent ▁to ▁China ▁for ▁further ▁education ▁on ▁Western ▁military ▁technologies . ▁ ▁The ▁modern ization ▁of ▁the ▁military ▁was ▁met ▁with ▁opposition . ▁The ▁special ▁treatment ▁of ▁the ▁new ▁training ▁unit ▁caused ▁resent ment ▁among ▁the ▁other ▁troops . ▁In ▁September ▁ 1 8 8 1 , ▁a ▁plot ▁was ▁un covered ▁to ▁over throw ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ’ s ▁f action , ▁de pose ▁the ▁King , ▁and ▁place ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un ' s ▁il leg it imate ▁( third ) ▁son , ▁Y i ▁J ae - se on ▁on ▁the ▁throne . ▁The ▁plot ▁was ▁frustrated ▁by ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁but ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un ▁was ▁kept ▁safe ▁from ▁per secut ion ▁because ▁he ▁was ▁still ▁the ▁father ▁of ▁the
▁King . ▁ ▁The ▁ins ur rection ▁of ▁ 1 8 8 2 ▁ ▁In ▁ 1 8 8 2 , ▁members ▁of ▁the ▁old ▁military ▁became ▁resent ful ▁of ▁the ▁special ▁treatment ▁of ▁the ▁new ▁units ▁and ▁so ▁attacked ▁and ▁destroyed ▁the ▁house ▁of ▁Min ▁G ye om - ho , ▁a ▁relative ▁of ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort , ▁who ▁was ▁the ▁administrative ▁head ▁of ▁the ▁training ▁units . ▁These ▁soldiers ▁then ▁fled ▁to ▁the ▁protection ▁of ▁the ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un , ▁who ▁publicly ▁reb uk ed ▁but ▁priv ately ▁encouraged ▁them . ▁The ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un ▁then ▁took ▁control ▁of ▁the ▁old ▁units . ▁ ▁He ▁ordered ▁an ▁attack ▁on ▁the ▁administrative ▁district ▁of ▁Se oul ▁that ▁hous ed ▁the ▁G ye ong b ok g ung , ▁the ▁diplom atic ▁quarter , ▁military ▁centers , ▁and ▁science ▁institutions . ▁The ▁soldiers ▁attacked ▁police ▁stations ▁to ▁free ▁com r ades ▁who ▁had ▁been ▁arrested ▁and ▁then ▁began ▁r ans acking ▁private ▁est ates ▁and ▁m ans ions ▁belonging ▁to ▁relatives ▁of ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort . ▁These ▁units ▁then ▁stole ▁rif les ▁and ▁began ▁to ▁kill ▁Japanese ▁training ▁officers , ▁and ▁narrow ly ▁missed ▁killing ▁the ▁Japanese ▁amb assador ▁to ▁Se oul , ▁who ▁quickly ▁escaped ▁to ▁In che on . ▁The ▁military ▁rebell ion ▁then ▁headed ▁towards ▁the ▁palace ▁but ▁both ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁and ▁the ▁King ▁escaped ▁in ▁disgu ise ▁and ▁fled ▁to ▁her ▁relative ’ s ▁vill a
▁in ▁Che ong ju , ▁where ▁they ▁remained ▁in ▁hiding . ▁ ▁N umer ous ▁supporters ▁of ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁were ▁put ▁to ▁death ▁as ▁soon ▁as ▁the ▁Da ew ong un ▁arrived ▁and ▁took ▁administrative ▁control ▁of ▁G ye ong b ok g ung ▁Palace . ▁He ▁immediately ▁dis m ant led ▁the ▁reform ▁measures ▁implemented ▁by ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁and ▁relieved ▁the ▁new ▁units ▁of ▁their ▁duties . ▁Foreign ▁policy ▁quickly ▁returned ▁to ▁isolation ism , ▁and ▁Chinese ▁and ▁Japanese ▁env o ys ▁were ▁forced ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁capital . ▁ ▁Li ▁Hong zh ang , ▁with ▁the ▁consent ▁of ▁Korean ▁env o ys ▁in ▁Beijing , ▁sent ▁ 4 , 5 0 0 ▁Chinese ▁troops ▁to ▁restore ▁order , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁to ▁secure ▁Chinese ▁interests ▁in ▁the ▁country . ▁The ▁troops ▁arrested ▁the ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un , ▁who ▁was ▁then ▁taken ▁to ▁China ▁to ▁be ▁tried ▁for ▁tre ason . ▁The ▁royal ▁couple ▁returned ▁and ▁over turn ed ▁all ▁of ▁the ▁Da ew ong un ' s ▁actions . ▁ ▁The ▁Japanese ▁forced ▁King ▁Go j ong ▁priv ately , ▁without ▁Queen ▁Min ' s ▁knowledge , ▁to ▁sign ▁the ▁Japan - K ore a ▁Treat y ▁of ▁ 1 8 8 2 ▁on ▁ 1 0 ▁August ▁ 1 8 8 2 , ▁to ▁pay ▁ 5 5 0 , 0 0 0 ▁y en ▁for ▁lives ▁and ▁property ▁that ▁the ▁Japanese ▁had ▁lost ▁during ▁the ▁ins ur rection , ▁and
▁permit ▁Japanese ▁troops ▁to ▁guard ▁the ▁Japanese ▁emb assy ▁in ▁Se oul . ▁When ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁learned ▁of ▁the ▁treat y , ▁she ▁proposed ▁to ▁China ▁a ▁new ▁trade ▁agreement , ▁grant ing ▁the ▁Chinese ▁special ▁privile ges ▁and ▁rights ▁to ▁ports ▁in access ible ▁to ▁the ▁Japanese . ▁She ▁also ▁requested ▁that ▁a ▁Chinese ▁commander ▁take ▁control ▁of ▁the ▁new ▁military ▁units ▁and ▁a ▁German ▁adv iser ▁named ▁Paul ▁Georg ▁von ▁M ö ll endor ff ▁to ▁head ▁the ▁Mar itime ▁Custom s ▁Service . ▁ ▁The ▁Mission ▁to ▁America ▁In ▁September ▁ 1 8 8 3 , ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁established ▁English ▁language ▁schools ▁with ▁American ▁instruct ors . ▁She ▁sent ▁a ▁special ▁mission ▁in ▁July ▁ 1 8 8 3 ▁to ▁the ▁United ▁States , ▁headed ▁by ▁Min ▁Ye ong - ik , ▁one ▁of ▁her ▁relatives . ▁The ▁mission ▁arrived ▁at ▁San ▁Francisco ▁carrying ▁the ▁newly ▁created ▁Korean ▁national ▁flag , ▁visited ▁many ▁American ▁historical ▁sites , ▁heard ▁lect ures ▁on ▁American ▁history , ▁and ▁attended ▁a ▁g ala ▁event ▁in ▁their ▁honor ▁given ▁by ▁the ▁mayor ▁of ▁San ▁Francisco ▁and ▁other ▁U . S . ▁officials . ▁The ▁mission ▁d ined ▁with ▁President ▁Che ster ▁A . ▁Arthur , ▁and ▁discussed ▁the ▁growing ▁threat ▁of ▁Japanese ▁and ▁American ▁investment ▁in ▁Korea . ▁At ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁September , ▁Min ▁Ye ong - ik ▁returned ▁to ▁Se oul ▁and ▁reported ▁to ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort , ▁ ▁The ▁reform ist ▁vs . ▁the ▁conserv atives ▁The
▁Progress ives ▁were ▁founded ▁during ▁the ▁late ▁ 1 8 7 0 s ▁by ▁a ▁group ▁of ▁y ang ban ▁who ▁fully ▁supported ▁Western ization ▁of ▁Jose on . ▁However , ▁they ▁wanted ▁immediate ▁Western ization , ▁including ▁a ▁complete ▁cut - off ▁of ▁ties ▁with ▁Q ing ▁China . ▁Un aware ▁of ▁their ▁anti - Ch inese ▁sent iments , ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁granted ▁frequent ▁audiences ▁and ▁meetings ▁with ▁them ▁to ▁discuss ▁progress iv ism ▁and ▁national ism . ▁They ▁advoc ated ▁for ▁educational ▁and ▁social ▁reform s , ▁including ▁the ▁equality ▁of ▁the ▁sex es ▁by ▁grant ing ▁women ▁full ▁rights , ▁issues ▁that ▁were ▁not ▁even ▁acknowledged ▁in ▁their ▁already ▁Western ized ▁neighbor ▁of ▁Japan . ▁The ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁was ▁completely ▁en am ored ▁by ▁the ▁Progress ives ▁in ▁the ▁beginning , ▁but ▁when ▁she ▁learned ▁that ▁they ▁were ▁deeply ▁anti - Ch inese , ▁she ▁quickly ▁turned ▁her ▁back ▁on ▁them . ▁Cut ting ▁ties ▁with ▁China ▁immediately ▁was ▁not ▁in ▁her ▁grad ual ▁plan ▁of ▁Western ization . ▁She ▁saw ▁the ▁consequences ▁Jose on ▁would ▁have ▁to ▁face ▁if ▁she ▁did ▁not ▁play ▁China ▁and ▁Japan ▁off ▁by ▁the ▁West ▁gradually , ▁especially ▁since ▁she ▁was ▁a ▁strong ▁advocate ▁of ▁the ▁S ada e ▁f action ▁who ▁were ▁pro - Ch ina ▁and ▁pro - grad ual ▁Western ization . ▁ ▁However , ▁in ▁ 1 8 8 4 , ▁the ▁conflict ▁between ▁the ▁Progress ives ▁and ▁the ▁S ada es ▁intens ified . ▁When ▁American
▁leg ation ▁officials , ▁particularly ▁Naval ▁Att ach é ▁George ▁C . ▁F oul k , ▁heard ▁about ▁the ▁growing ▁problem , ▁they ▁were ▁out r aged ▁and ▁reported ▁directly ▁to ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort . ▁The ▁Americans ▁attempted ▁to ▁bring ▁the ▁two ▁groups ▁to ▁peace ▁with ▁each ▁other ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁aid ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁in ▁a ▁peaceful ▁transformation ▁of ▁Jose on ▁into ▁a ▁modern ▁nation . ▁After ▁all , ▁she ▁liked ▁the ▁ideas ▁and ▁plans ▁of ▁both ▁parties . ▁As ▁a ▁matter ▁of ▁fact , ▁she ▁was ▁in ▁support ▁of ▁many ▁of ▁the ▁Progress ive ' s ▁ideas , ▁except ▁for ▁sever ing ▁relations ▁with ▁China . ▁ ▁However , ▁the ▁Progress ives , ▁fed ▁up ▁with ▁the ▁S ada es ▁and ▁the ▁growing ▁influence ▁of ▁the ▁Chinese , ▁sought ▁the ▁aid ▁of ▁the ▁Japanese ▁leg ation ▁guards ▁and ▁st aged ▁a ▁bloody ▁palace ▁coup ▁on ▁ 4 ▁December ▁ 1 8 8 4 . ▁The ▁Progress ives ▁killed ▁numerous ▁high ▁S ada es ▁and ▁secured ▁key ▁government ▁positions ▁vac ated ▁by ▁the ▁S ada es ▁who ▁had ▁fled ▁the ▁capital ▁or ▁had ▁been ▁killed . ▁ ▁The ▁refres hed ▁administration ▁began ▁to ▁issue ▁various ▁ed icts ▁in ▁both ▁the ▁King ▁and ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ' s ▁names ▁and ▁they ▁were ▁eager ▁to ▁implement ▁political , ▁economic , ▁social , ▁and ▁cultural ▁reform s . ▁However , ▁the ▁Em press ▁was ▁hor r ified ▁by ▁the ▁bell icos ity ▁of ▁the ▁Progress ives ▁and ▁refused ▁to ▁support ▁their ▁actions ▁and
▁declared ▁any ▁documents ▁signed ▁in ▁her ▁name ▁to ▁be ▁null ▁and ▁void . ▁After ▁only ▁two ▁days ▁of ▁new ▁influence ▁over ▁the ▁administration , ▁they ▁were ▁crushed ▁by ▁Chinese ▁troops ▁under ▁Y uan ▁Sh ih - k ai ' s ▁command . ▁A ▁handful ▁of ▁Progress ive ▁leaders ▁were ▁killed . ▁Once ▁again , ▁the ▁Japanese ▁government ▁saw ▁the ▁opportunity ▁to ▁ext ort ▁money ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁Jose on ▁government ▁by ▁forcing ▁Go j ong , ▁again ▁without ▁the ▁knowledge ▁of ▁his ▁wife , ▁to ▁sign ▁a ▁treat y . ▁The ▁Treat y ▁of ▁Han se ong ▁forced ▁Jose on ▁to ▁pay ▁a ▁large ▁sum ▁of ▁ind em n ity ▁for ▁damages ▁inf lict ed ▁on ▁Japanese ▁lives ▁and ▁property ▁during ▁the ▁coup . ▁ ▁On ▁ 1 8 ▁April ▁ 1 8 8 5 ▁the ▁Li - I to ▁Agreement ▁was ▁made ▁in ▁T ian j in , ▁China , ▁between ▁the ▁Japanese ▁and ▁the ▁Chinese . ▁In ▁it , ▁they ▁both ▁agreed ▁to ▁pull ▁troops ▁out ▁of ▁Jose on ▁and ▁that ▁either ▁party ▁would ▁send ▁troops ▁only ▁if ▁their ▁property ▁was ▁end ang ered ▁and ▁that ▁each ▁would ▁inform ▁the ▁other ▁before ▁doing ▁so . ▁Both ▁nations ▁also ▁agreed ▁to ▁pull ▁out ▁their ▁military ▁instruct ors ▁to ▁allow ▁the ▁newly ▁arrived ▁Americans ▁to ▁take ▁full ▁control ▁of ▁that ▁duty . ▁The ▁Japanese ▁withd rew ▁troops ▁from ▁Korea , ▁leaving ▁a ▁small ▁number ▁of ▁leg ation ▁guards , ▁but ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁was ▁ahead ▁of ▁the ▁Japanese ▁in ▁their ▁game .
▁She ▁summon ed ▁Chinese ▁env o ys ▁and ▁through ▁persu asion , ▁convinced ▁them ▁to ▁keep ▁ 2 , 0 0 0 ▁soldiers ▁disgu ised ▁as ▁Jose on ▁police ▁or ▁merch ants ▁to ▁guard ▁the ▁borders ▁from ▁any ▁suspicious ▁Japanese ▁actions ▁and ▁to ▁continue ▁to ▁train ▁Korean ▁troops . ▁ ▁The ▁Innov ator ▁ ▁Education ▁Peace ▁finally ▁settled ▁upon ▁the ▁once - ren owned ▁" Land ▁of ▁the ▁Morning ▁Cal m ." ▁With ▁the ▁majority ▁of ▁Japanese ▁troops ▁out ▁of ▁Jose on ▁and ▁Chinese ▁protection ▁readily ▁available , ▁the ▁plans ▁for ▁further , ▁dr astic ▁modern ization ▁were ▁continued . ▁Pl ans ▁to ▁establish ▁a ▁palace ▁school ▁to ▁educ ate ▁children ▁of ▁the ▁elite ▁had ▁been ▁in ▁the ▁making ▁since ▁ 1 8 8 0 ▁but ▁were ▁finally ▁executed ▁in ▁May ▁ 1 8 8 5 ▁with ▁the ▁approval ▁of ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort . ▁A ▁palace ▁school ▁named ▁" Y ug you ng ▁K ung - won " ▁( 육 영 공 원 , ▁ 育 英 公 院 , ▁Royal ▁English ▁School ) ▁was ▁established , ▁with ▁an ▁American ▁mission ary , ▁Hom er ▁B . ▁H ul bert , ▁and ▁three ▁other ▁mission aries ▁to ▁lead ▁the ▁development ▁of ▁the ▁curriculum . ▁The ▁school ▁had ▁two ▁departments , ▁liberal ▁education ▁and ▁military ▁education . ▁C ourses ▁were ▁taught ▁exclusively ▁in ▁English ▁using ▁English ▁text books . ▁However , ▁due ▁to ▁low ▁attendance , ▁the ▁school ▁was ▁closed ▁shortly ▁after ▁the ▁last ▁English ▁teacher , ▁B unk er , ▁resigned ▁in
▁late ▁ 1 8 9 3 . ▁ ▁The ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁also ▁gave ▁her ▁patron age ▁to ▁the ▁first ▁all - girl s ' ▁educational ▁institution , ▁E wh a ▁Academy , ▁established ▁in ▁Se oul , ▁ 1 8 8 6 ▁by ▁American ▁mission ary , ▁Mary ▁F . ▁Sc rant on ▁( l ater ▁became ▁the ▁E wh a ▁University ). ▁In ▁reality , ▁as ▁Louis a ▁Roth we iler , ▁a ▁founding ▁teacher ▁of ▁E wh a ▁Academy ▁observed , ▁the ▁school ▁was , ▁at ▁its ▁early ▁stage , ▁more ▁of ▁a ▁place ▁for ▁poor ▁girls ▁to ▁be ▁fed ▁and ▁cl ot hed ▁than ▁a ▁place ▁of ▁education . ▁This ▁was ▁a ▁significant ▁social ▁change . ▁The ▁institution ▁surv ives ▁to ▁this ▁day ▁as ▁the ▁E wh a ▁Woman ' s ▁University ▁- ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁Republic ▁of ▁Korea ' s ▁top ▁private ▁universities ▁and ▁still ▁an ▁all - girl ' s ▁school . ▁ ▁The ▁Protest ant ▁mission aries ▁contributed ▁much ▁to ▁the ▁development ▁of ▁Western ▁education ▁in ▁Jose on ▁Korea . ▁The ▁Queen ▁Cons ort , ▁unlike ▁her ▁father - in - law , ▁who ▁had ▁opp ressed ▁Christians , ▁invited ▁different ▁mission aries ▁to ▁enter ▁Jose on . ▁She ▁knew ▁and ▁valued ▁their ▁knowledge ▁of ▁Western ▁history , ▁science , ▁and ▁mathemat ics , ▁and ▁was ▁aware ▁of ▁the ▁advantage ▁of ▁having ▁them ▁within ▁the ▁nation . ▁Unlike ▁the ▁Is olation ists , ▁she ▁saw ▁no ▁threat ▁to ▁the ▁Conf uc ian ▁mor als ▁of ▁Korean
▁society ▁in ▁the ▁advent ▁of ▁Christianity . ▁Relig ious ▁tolerance ▁was ▁another ▁one ▁of ▁her ▁goals . ▁ ▁The ▁press ▁The ▁first ▁newspaper ▁to ▁be ▁published ▁in ▁Jose on ▁was ▁the ▁" H anse ong ▁Sun bo ", ▁an ▁all - H an ja ▁newspaper . ▁It ▁was ▁published ▁as ▁a ▁thr ice ▁monthly ▁official ▁government ▁gaz ette ▁by ▁the ▁Bak mun - gu k ▁( Pub lish ing ▁house ), ▁an ▁agency ▁of ▁the ▁Foreign ▁Ministry . ▁It ▁included ▁contemporary ▁news ▁of ▁the ▁day , ▁essays ▁and ▁articles ▁about ▁Western ization , ▁and ▁news ▁of ▁further ▁modern ization ▁of ▁Jose on . ▁ ▁In ▁January ▁ 1 8 8 6 , ▁the ▁Bak mun - gu k ▁published ▁a ▁new ▁newspaper ▁named ▁the ▁Han se ong ▁J ub o ▁( The ▁Se oul ▁Week ly ). ▁The ▁publication ▁of ▁a ▁Korean - language ▁newspaper ▁was ▁a ▁significant ▁development , ▁and ▁the ▁paper ▁itself ▁played ▁an ▁important ▁role ▁as ▁a ▁communication ▁media ▁to ▁the ▁masses ▁until ▁it ▁was ▁abol ished ▁in ▁ 1 8 8 8 ▁under ▁pressure ▁from ▁the ▁Chinese ▁government . ▁ ▁A ▁newspaper ▁entirely ▁in ▁H ang ul , ▁making ▁no ▁use ▁of ▁the ▁Korean ▁Han ja ▁script , ▁was ▁not ▁published ▁again ▁until ▁ 1 8 9 4 . ▁G an jo ▁Sin bo ▁( The ▁Se oul ▁News ) ▁was ▁published ▁as ▁a ▁weekly ▁newspaper ▁under ▁the ▁patron age ▁of ▁both ▁Go j ong ▁and ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort , ▁it ▁was ▁written ▁half ▁in ▁Korean ▁and ▁half
▁in ▁Japanese . ▁ ▁Medicine , ▁religion , ▁and ▁music ▁The ▁arrival ▁of ▁Hor ace ▁Newton ▁Allen ▁under ▁invitation ▁of ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁in ▁September ▁ 1 8 8 4 ▁marked ▁the ▁formal ▁introduction ▁of ▁Christianity , ▁which ▁spread ▁rapidly ▁in ▁Jose on . ▁He ▁was ▁able , ▁with ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ' s ▁permission ▁and ▁official ▁san ction , ▁to ▁arrange ▁for ▁the ▁appointment ▁of ▁other ▁mission aries ▁as ▁government ▁employees . ▁He ▁also ▁introduced ▁modern ▁medicine ▁in ▁Korea ▁by ▁establishing ▁the ▁first ▁western ▁Royal ▁Medical ▁Clin ic ▁of ▁G wan gh y ew on ▁in ▁February ▁ 1 8 8 5 . ▁ ▁In ▁April ▁ 1 8 8 5 , ▁a ▁hor de ▁of ▁Protest ant ▁mission aries ▁began ▁to ▁flood ▁into ▁Jose on . ▁The ▁Is olation ists ▁were ▁hor r ified ▁and ▁realized ▁they ▁had ▁finally ▁been ▁defeated ▁by ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort . ▁The ▁doors ▁to ▁Korea ▁were ▁not ▁only ▁open ▁to ▁ideas , ▁technology , ▁and ▁culture ▁but ▁also ▁to ▁other ▁relig ions . ▁Having ▁lost ▁immense ▁power ▁with ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un ▁( st ill ▁capt ive ▁in ▁China ), ▁the ▁Is olation ists ▁could ▁do ▁nothing ▁but ▁simply ▁watch . ▁Hor ace ▁Grant ▁Under wood ▁and ▁his ▁wife , ▁William ▁B . ▁Sc rant on , ▁his ▁wife , ▁and ▁his ▁mother , ▁Mary ▁Sc rant on , ▁made ▁Korea ▁their ▁new ▁home ▁in ▁May ▁ 1 8 8 5 . ▁They ▁established ▁churches ▁within ▁Se oul ▁and
▁began ▁to ▁establish ▁centers ▁in ▁the ▁countr ys ides . ▁Catholic ▁mission aries ▁arrived ▁soon ▁afterwards , ▁rev iving ▁Catholic ism ▁which ▁had ▁witnessed ▁massive ▁per secut ion ▁in ▁ 1 8 6 6 ▁under ▁He ung se on ▁Da ew ong un ' s ▁rule . ▁ ▁While ▁winning ▁many ▁conver ts , ▁Christian ▁mission aries ▁made ▁significant ▁contributions ▁towards ▁the ▁modern ization ▁of ▁the ▁country . ▁Con cept s ▁of ▁equality , ▁human ▁rights ▁and ▁freedom , ▁and ▁the ▁participation ▁of ▁both ▁men ▁and ▁women ▁in ▁religious ▁activities ▁were ▁all ▁new ▁to ▁Jose on . ▁The ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁was ▁ec static ▁at ▁the ▁prospect ▁of ▁integr ating ▁these ▁values ▁within ▁the ▁government . ▁She ▁had ▁wanted ▁the ▁liter acy ▁rate ▁to ▁rise , ▁and ▁with ▁the ▁aid ▁of ▁Christian ▁educational ▁programs , ▁it ▁did ▁so ▁significantly ▁within ▁a ▁matter ▁of ▁a ▁few ▁years . ▁ ▁Dr astic ▁changes ▁were ▁made ▁to ▁music ▁as ▁well . ▁Western ▁music ▁theory ▁partly ▁displ aced ▁the ▁traditional ▁Eastern ▁concepts . ▁The ▁Protest ant ▁missions ▁introduced ▁Christian ▁h ym ns ▁and ▁other ▁Western ▁songs ▁that ▁created ▁a ▁strong ▁imp et us ▁to ▁modern ize ▁Korean ▁ideas ▁about ▁music . ▁The ▁organ ▁and ▁other ▁Western ▁musical ▁instruments ▁were ▁introduced ▁in ▁ 1 8 9 0 , ▁and ▁a ▁Christian ▁h ym nal ▁was ▁published ▁in ▁the ▁Korean ▁language ▁in ▁ 1 8 9 3 ▁under ▁the ▁commission ▁of ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort . ▁She ▁herself , ▁however , ▁never ▁became ▁a ▁Christian , ▁but ▁remained ▁a
▁dev out ▁Budd hist ▁with ▁influences ▁from ▁sh aman ism ▁and ▁Conf uc ian ism ; ▁her ▁religious ▁beliefs ▁would ▁become ▁the ▁model , ▁indirect ly , ▁for ▁those ▁of ▁many ▁modern ▁Kore ans , ▁who ▁share ▁her ▁belief ▁in ▁plural ism ▁and ▁religious ▁tolerance . ▁ ▁Military ▁Modern ▁weapons ▁were ▁imported ▁from ▁Japan ▁and ▁the ▁United ▁States ▁in ▁ 1 8 8 3 . ▁The ▁first ▁military ▁fact ories ▁were ▁established ▁and ▁new ▁military ▁uniform s ▁were ▁created ▁in ▁ 1 8 8 4 . ▁Under ▁joint ▁patron age ▁of ▁Go j ong ▁& ▁his ▁Queen ▁Cons ort , ▁a ▁request ▁was ▁made ▁to ▁the ▁United ▁States ▁for ▁more ▁American ▁military ▁instruct ors ▁to ▁speed ▁up ▁the ▁military ▁modern ization ▁of ▁Korea . ▁Out ▁of ▁all ▁the ▁projects ▁that ▁were ▁going ▁on ▁simultaneously , ▁the ▁military ▁project ▁took ▁the ▁longest . ▁▁ ▁In ▁October ▁ 1 8 8 3 , ▁American ▁minister ▁Lu cius ▁Foot e ▁arrived ▁to ▁take ▁command ▁of ▁the ▁modern ization ▁of ▁Jose on ' s ▁older ▁army ▁units ▁that ▁had ▁not ▁started ▁Western izing . ▁In ▁April ▁ 1 8 8 8 , ▁General ▁William ▁Mc Ent y re ▁D ye ▁and ▁two ▁other ▁military ▁instruct ors ▁arrived ▁from ▁the ▁United ▁States , ▁followed ▁in ▁May ▁by ▁a ▁fourth ▁instructor . ▁They ▁brought ▁about ▁rapid ▁military ▁development . ▁ ▁A ▁new ▁military ▁school ▁was ▁created ▁called ▁" Y e on mu ▁G ong won ", ▁and ▁an ▁officers ▁training ▁program ▁began . ▁However , ▁despite ▁arm ies ▁becoming
▁more ▁and ▁more ▁on ▁par ▁with ▁the ▁Chinese ▁and ▁the ▁Japanese , ▁the ▁idea ▁of ▁a ▁navy ▁was ▁neg lected . ▁As ▁a ▁result , ▁it ▁became ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁few ▁failures ▁of ▁the ▁modern ization ▁project . ▁Due ▁to ▁the ▁neglect ▁of ▁developing ▁naval ▁defence , ▁Jose on ' s ▁long ▁sea ▁borders ▁were ▁open ▁to ▁invasion . ▁It ▁was ▁an ▁iron ic ▁mistake ▁since ▁nearly ▁ 3 0 0 ▁years ▁earlier , ▁Jose on ' s ▁navy ▁was ▁the ▁strongest ▁in ▁all ▁of ▁East ▁Asia . ▁Now , ▁the ▁Korean ▁navy ▁was ▁nothing ▁but ▁ancient ▁ships ▁that ▁could ▁barely ▁defend ▁themselves ▁from ▁the ▁advanced ▁ships ▁of ▁modern ▁nav ies . ▁ ▁However , ▁for ▁a ▁short ▁while , ▁hope ▁for ▁the ▁Korean ▁military ▁could ▁be ▁seen . ▁With ▁rapidly ▁growing ▁arm ies , ▁Japan ▁itself ▁was ▁becoming ▁fear ful ▁of ▁the ▁impact ▁of ▁Korean ▁troops ▁if ▁her ▁government ▁did ▁not ▁inter f ere ▁soon ▁to ▁st all ▁the ▁process . ▁ ▁Econom y ▁Following ▁the ▁opening ▁of ▁all ▁Korean ▁ports ▁to ▁the ▁Japanese ▁and ▁Western ▁merch ants ▁in ▁ 1 8 8 8 , ▁contact ▁and ▁involvement ▁with ▁outs iders ▁increased ▁foreign ▁trade ▁rapidly . ▁In ▁ 1 8 8 3 , ▁the ▁Mar itime ▁Custom s ▁Service ▁was ▁established ▁under ▁the ▁patron age ▁of ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁and ▁the ▁super vision ▁of ▁Sir ▁Robert ▁Hart , ▁ 1 st ▁Baron et ▁of ▁the ▁United ▁Kingdom . ▁The ▁Mar itime ▁Custom s ▁Service ▁administer ed ▁the ▁business ▁of ▁foreign ▁trade
▁and ▁collection ▁of ▁tar iffs . ▁ ▁By ▁ 1 8 8 3 , ▁the ▁economy ▁was ▁now ▁no ▁longer ▁in ▁a ▁state ▁of ▁mon opol y ▁conducted ▁by ▁Japanese ▁merch ants ▁as ▁it ▁had ▁been ▁only ▁a ▁few ▁years ▁ago . ▁The ▁majority ▁was ▁in ▁control ▁by ▁the ▁Kore ans ▁while ▁portions ▁were ▁distributed ▁between ▁Western ▁nations , ▁Japan ▁and ▁China . ▁In ▁ 1 8 8 4 , ▁the ▁first ▁Korean ▁commercial ▁firms ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁Da ed ong ▁and ▁the ▁Ch ang d ong ▁Company ▁emerged . ▁The ▁Bureau ▁of ▁M int ▁also ▁produced ▁a ▁new ▁coin ▁called ▁" t ango je on " ▁in ▁ 1 8 8 4 , ▁secur ing ▁a ▁stable ▁Korean ▁currency ▁at ▁the ▁time . ▁Western ▁investment ▁began ▁to ▁take ▁hold ▁as ▁well ▁in ▁ 1 8 8 6 . ▁ ▁The ▁German ▁A . H . ▁Ma et ern s , ▁with ▁the ▁aid ▁of ▁the ▁United ▁States ▁Department ▁of ▁Agricult ure , ▁created ▁a ▁new ▁project ▁called ▁" American ▁Farm " ▁on ▁a ▁large ▁plot ▁of ▁land ▁don ated ▁by ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁to ▁promote ▁modern ▁agriculture . ▁Farm ▁implements , ▁seeds , ▁and ▁milk ▁c ows ▁were ▁imported ▁from ▁the ▁United ▁States . ▁In ▁June ▁ 1 8 8 3 , ▁the ▁Bureau ▁of ▁Mach ines ▁was ▁established ▁and ▁steam ▁engines ▁were ▁imported . ▁However , ▁despite ▁the ▁fact ▁that ▁Go j ong ▁and ▁his ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁brought ▁the ▁Korean ▁economy ▁to ▁an ▁acceptable ▁level ▁to ▁the ▁West ,
▁modern ▁manufacturing ▁facilities ▁did ▁not ▁emerge ▁due ▁to ▁a ▁political ▁inter ruption : ▁the ▁assass ination ▁of ▁the ▁Queen ▁Cons ort . ▁Be ▁that ▁as ▁it ▁may , ▁tele graph ▁lines ▁between ▁Jose on , ▁China , ▁and ▁Japan ▁were ▁laid ▁between ▁ 1 8 8 3 ▁and ▁ 1 8 8 5 , ▁facil itating ▁communication . ▁ ▁Personal ▁life ▁ ▁Early ▁years ▁Det ailed ▁descriptions ▁of ▁Min ▁can ▁be ▁found ▁in ▁both ▁The ▁National ▁Assembly ▁Library ▁of ▁Korea ▁and ▁records ▁kept ▁by ▁L ili as ▁Under wood , ▁a ▁close ▁and ▁trusted ▁American ▁friend ▁of ▁Min ▁who ▁came ▁to ▁Korea ▁in ▁ 1 8 8 8 ▁as ▁a ▁mission ary ▁and ▁was ▁appointed ▁as ▁her ▁doctor . ▁ ▁Both ▁sources ▁describe ▁the ▁Em press ' ▁appearance , ▁voice , ▁and ▁public ▁manner . ▁She ▁was ▁said ▁to ▁have ▁had ▁a ▁soft ▁face ▁with ▁strong ▁features — a ▁classic ▁beauty ▁contrast ing ▁with ▁the ▁king ' s ▁preference ▁for ▁" s ul try " ▁women . ▁Her ▁personal ▁speaking ▁voice ▁was ▁soft ▁and ▁warm , ▁but ▁when ▁conducting ▁affairs ▁of ▁the ▁state , ▁she ▁assert ed ▁her ▁points ▁with ▁strength . ▁Her ▁public ▁manner ▁was ▁formal , ▁and ▁she ▁heavily ▁ad her ed ▁to ▁court ▁et iqu ette ▁and ▁traditional ▁law . ▁Under wood ▁described ▁the ▁Em press ▁in ▁the ▁following : ▁ ▁The ▁young ▁queen ▁cons ort ▁and ▁her ▁husband ▁were ▁in compatible ▁in ▁the ▁beginning ▁of ▁their ▁marriage . ▁Both ▁found ▁the ▁other ' s ▁ways ▁rep uls ive ;
▁she ▁preferred ▁to ▁stay ▁in ▁her ▁ch ambers ▁studying , ▁while ▁he ▁enjoyed ▁spending ▁his ▁days ▁and ▁nights ▁drinking ▁and ▁attending ▁ban qu ets ▁and ▁royal ▁parties . ▁The ▁queen , ▁who ▁was ▁genuinely ▁concerned ▁with ▁the ▁affairs ▁of ▁the ▁state ▁and ▁imm ers ed ▁herself ▁in ▁philosophy , ▁history , ▁and ▁science ▁books ▁normally ▁reserved ▁for ▁y ang ban ▁men , ▁once ▁remarked ▁to ▁a ▁close ▁friend , ▁" He ▁disgust s ▁me ." ▁ ▁Court ▁officials ▁noted ▁that ▁the ▁queen ▁cons ort ▁was ▁exclusive ▁in ▁choosing ▁who ▁she ▁associated ▁with ▁and ▁conf ided ▁in . ▁She ▁chose ▁to ▁not ▁consum mate ▁her ▁marriage ▁on ▁her ▁wedding ▁night ▁as ▁court ▁tradition ▁dict ated ▁her ▁to , ▁but ▁later ▁had ▁immense ▁difficulty ▁in ▁conce iving ▁a ▁healthy ▁he ir . ▁Her ▁first ▁pregnancy ▁five ▁years ▁after ▁marriage ▁ended ▁in ▁despair ▁and ▁hum iliation ▁when ▁her ▁infant ▁son ▁died ▁shortly ▁after ▁birth . ▁Her ▁second ▁son , ▁Sun j ong , ▁was ▁never ▁a ▁healthy ▁child , ▁often ▁catching ▁illness es ▁and ▁con val es cing ▁in ▁bed ▁for ▁weeks . ▁While ▁Min ▁was ▁unable ▁to ▁truly ▁connect ▁with ▁Go j ong ▁in ▁the ▁early ▁years , ▁trials ▁during ▁their ▁later ▁marriage ▁brought ▁them ▁together . ▁ ▁Later ▁years ▁ ▁Both ▁the ▁Go j ong ▁and ▁his ▁Queen ▁began ▁to ▁grow ▁aff e ctions ▁for ▁each ▁other ▁during ▁their ▁later ▁years . ▁Go j ong ▁was ▁press ured ▁by ▁his ▁advis ers ▁to ▁take ▁control ▁of ▁the ▁government ▁and ▁administer ▁his ▁nation . ▁However
, ▁one ▁has ▁to ▁remember ▁that ▁Go j ong ▁was ▁not ▁chosen ▁to ▁become ▁King ▁because ▁of ▁his ▁ac umen ▁( which ▁he ▁lack ed ▁because ▁he ▁was ▁never ▁formally ▁educated ) ▁or ▁because ▁of ▁his ▁blood line ▁( which ▁was ▁mixed ▁with ▁cour tes an ▁and ▁common ▁blood ), ▁but ▁because ▁the ▁P ung y ang ▁Jo ▁clan ▁had ▁fals ely ▁assumed ▁they ▁could ▁control ▁the ▁boy ▁through ▁his ▁father . ▁When ▁it ▁was ▁actually ▁time ▁for ▁Go j ong ▁to ▁assume ▁his ▁respons ibilities ▁of ▁the ▁state , ▁he ▁often ▁needed ▁the ▁aid ▁of ▁his ▁wife ▁to ▁conduct ▁international ▁and ▁domestic ▁affairs . ▁In ▁this , ▁Go j ong ▁grew ▁an ▁adm iration ▁for ▁his ▁wife ' s ▁w it , ▁intelligence , ▁and ▁ability ▁to ▁learn ▁quickly . ▁As ▁the ▁problems ▁of ▁the ▁kingdom ▁grew ▁bigger ▁and ▁bigger , ▁Go j ong ▁rel ied ▁even ▁more ▁on ▁his ▁wife , ▁she ▁becoming ▁his ▁rock ▁during ▁times ▁of ▁frustration . ▁ ▁During ▁the ▁years ▁of ▁modern ization ▁of ▁Jose on , ▁it ▁is ▁safe ▁to ▁assume ▁that ▁Go j ong ▁was ▁finally ▁in ▁love ▁with ▁his ▁wife . ▁They ▁began ▁to ▁spend ▁much ▁time ▁with ▁each ▁other , ▁priv ately ▁and ▁officially . ▁They ▁shared ▁each ▁other ' s ▁problems , ▁celebrated ▁each ▁other ' s ▁jo ys , ▁and ▁felt ▁each ▁other ' s ▁p ains . ▁They ▁finally ▁became ▁husband ▁and ▁wife . ▁ ▁His ▁affection ▁for ▁her ▁was ▁und ying , ▁and ▁it ▁has ▁been ▁noted ▁that ▁after
▁the ▁death ▁of ▁his ▁Queen ▁Cons ort , ▁Go j ong ▁locked ▁himself ▁up ▁in ▁his ▁ch ambers ▁for ▁several ▁weeks , ▁ref using ▁to ▁assume ▁his ▁duties . ▁When ▁he ▁finally ▁did , ▁he ▁lost ▁the ▁will ▁to ▁even ▁try ▁and ▁signed ▁treat y ▁after ▁treat y ▁that ▁was ▁proposed ▁by ▁the ▁Japanese , ▁giving ▁the ▁Japanese ▁immense ▁power . ▁When ▁his ▁father ▁reg ained ▁political ▁power ▁after ▁the ▁death ▁of ▁his ▁daughter - in - law , ▁he ▁presented ▁a ▁proposal ▁with ▁the ▁aid ▁of ▁certain ▁Japanese ▁officials ▁to ▁lower ▁his ▁daughter - in - law ' s ▁status ▁as ▁Queen ▁Cons ort ▁all ▁the ▁way ▁to ▁common er ▁post hum ously . ▁Go j ong , ▁a ▁man ▁who ▁had ▁always ▁been ▁used ▁by ▁others ▁and ▁never ▁used ▁his ▁own ▁voice ▁for ▁his ▁own ▁causes , ▁was ▁noted ▁by ▁scholars ▁as ▁having ▁said , ▁" I ▁would ▁rather ▁sl it ▁my ▁wr ists ▁and ▁let ▁them ▁ble ed ▁than ▁dis gr ace ▁the ▁woman ▁who ▁saved ▁this ▁kingdom ." ▁In ▁an ▁act ▁of ▁def iance , ▁he ▁refused ▁to ▁sign ▁his ▁father ' s ▁and ▁the ▁Japanese ▁proposal , ▁and ▁turned ▁them ▁away . ▁ ▁Ass ass ination ▁ ▁The ▁Em press ' ▁assass ination , ▁known ▁in ▁Korea ▁as ▁the ▁E ul mi ▁Inc ident ▁( 을 미 사 변 , ▁ <0xE4> <0xB9> <0x99> 未 事 變 ), ▁occurred ▁in ▁the ▁early ▁hours ▁of ▁ 8 ▁October ▁ 1 8 9 5 ▁at ▁Ok ho - ru ▁(

▁hours ▁after ▁the ▁news ▁the ▁Mont en egr in ▁troops , ▁as ▁expected , ▁were ▁approaching ▁Sc ut ari . ▁Up ▁to ▁ 7 0 % ▁of ▁the ▁Turkish ▁army ▁in ▁the ▁inner ▁parts ▁of ▁the ▁B alk ans ▁was ▁composed ▁of ▁Muslim ▁Alban ian ▁con scripts ▁during ▁the ▁freedom ▁struggle ▁from ▁the ▁Ott oman ▁Empire . ▁At ▁noon ▁Has an ▁R iza ▁P asha ▁in ▁his ▁headquarters ▁gathered ▁all ▁his ▁command ers ▁and ▁told ▁them : ▁ ▁Battle ▁ ▁The ▁sie ge ▁started ▁on ▁October ▁ 2 8 , ▁ 1 9 1 2 . ▁The ▁attack ▁was ▁originally ▁carried ▁out ▁by ▁the ▁Mont en egr in ▁army ▁under ▁the ▁command ▁of ▁Prince ▁Dan ilo . ▁However , ▁his ▁forces ▁encountered ▁stiff ▁resistance , ▁and ▁the ▁Ser b ▁army ▁sent ▁reinforce ments ▁to ▁help ▁its ▁Mont en egr in ▁allies . ▁ ▁Rad om ir ▁Ve š ović ▁participated ▁in ▁the ▁sie ge ▁where ▁he ▁was ▁wounded ▁twice , ▁showing ▁an ▁exem ption al ▁courage ▁which ▁earned ▁him ▁a ▁golden ▁Ob ili ć ▁Medal ▁and ▁nick name ▁the ▁kn ight ▁of ▁Br d anj olt ▁( ). ▁ ▁The ▁combined ▁Turkish ▁and ▁Alban ian ▁defend ers ▁led ▁by ▁Has an ▁R iza ▁P asha ▁and ▁his ▁lieutenant , ▁Es ad ▁P asha ▁T opt ani , ▁res isted ▁for ▁seven ▁months ▁and ▁managed ▁to ▁inf lict ▁a ▁heavy ▁toll ▁on ▁the ▁bes ie gers . ▁ ▁Death ▁of ▁Has an ▁R iza ▁P asha ▁On ▁January ▁ 3 0 , ▁ 1

▁north ▁of ▁the ▁town ▁of ▁V lor ë . ▁It ▁also ▁managed ▁to ▁trap ▁the ▁remains ▁of ▁the ▁Army ▁of ▁V ard ar ▁in ▁what ▁was ▁left ▁of ▁Alban ia ▁proper , ▁but ▁were ▁not ▁able ▁to ▁force ▁them ▁to ▁surrender . ▁However , ▁when ▁the ▁war ▁was ▁over , ▁the ▁Great ▁Pow ers ▁did ▁not ▁award ▁the ▁city ▁to ▁the ▁Kingdom ▁of ▁Mont en eg ro , ▁which ▁was ▁comp elled ▁to ▁evac uate ▁it ▁in ▁May ▁ 1 9 1 3 , ▁in ▁accordance ▁with ▁the ▁London ▁Conference ▁of ▁Amb ass ad ors . ▁The ▁army ' s ▁withdrawal ▁was ▁hast ened ▁by ▁a ▁small ▁naval ▁fl ot illa ▁of ▁British ▁and ▁Italian ▁gun bo ats ▁that ▁moved ▁up ▁the ▁Bo j ana ▁River ▁and ▁across ▁the ▁Ad ri atic ▁coast line . ▁International ▁peace ▁keeping ▁force ▁( Sc ut ari ▁det achment ) ▁from ▁five ▁countries ▁- ▁Austria - H ung ary , ▁Great ▁Britain , ▁France , ▁Italy ▁and ▁Germany ▁- ▁was ▁deployed ▁in ▁the ▁city ▁and ▁kept ▁until ▁the ▁start ▁of ▁W WI . ▁The ▁Kingdom ▁of ▁Mont en eg ro ▁also ▁later ▁took ▁Met oh ija , ▁an ▁area ▁of ▁Kos ovo . ▁ ▁At roc ities ▁During ▁the ▁sie ge ▁and ▁afterwards , ▁Ser bo - Mont en egr in ▁soldiers ▁committed ▁numerous ▁at roc ities ▁on ▁the ▁Alban ian ▁population . ▁ ▁International ▁reaction ▁' s ▁Foreign ▁Minister , ▁Count ▁Leop old ▁Ber cht old , ▁demanded ▁that ▁Sc ut ari ▁be ▁evac uated ▁by

▁bathroom . ▁Mc Call um ▁is ▁arrested . ▁Sh awn ▁and ▁G us ▁have ▁solved ▁their ▁first ▁case ▁and ▁open ▁their ▁own ▁private ▁detective ▁agency , ▁Psych . ▁ ▁Production ▁ ▁Con ception ▁and ▁development ▁After ▁successfully ▁pitch ing ▁the ▁film ▁Big ▁Daddy ▁to ▁the ▁production ▁company ▁Columbia ▁Pictures , ▁the ▁film ' s ▁writer , ▁Steve ▁Fr anks ▁was ▁requested ▁by ▁Columbia ▁to ▁pitch ▁them ▁ideas ▁for ▁five ▁new ▁television ▁programs . ▁Among ▁the ▁ideas ▁Fr anks ▁pit ched ▁was ▁the ▁original ▁outline ▁for ▁Psych . ▁Columbia ▁Pictures ▁felt ▁that ▁the ▁idea ▁for ▁the ▁show ▁was ▁completely ▁ridiculous , ▁so ▁Fr anks ▁forgot ▁about ▁it . ▁A ▁few ▁years ▁afterwards , ▁Steve ▁Fr anks ▁met ▁with ▁producer ▁Kelly ▁K ul ch ak , ▁asking ▁her ▁to ▁help ▁him ▁with ▁creating ▁a ▁one - hour - long ▁TV ▁series . ▁K ul ch ak ▁agreed , ▁and ▁Fr anks ▁presented ▁the ▁original ▁idea ▁he ▁had ▁for ▁Psych , ▁which ▁K ul ch ak ▁considered ▁to ▁be ▁brilliant . ▁ ▁Fr anks ▁and ▁K ul ch ak ▁pit ched ▁the ▁idea ▁to ▁numerous ▁TV ▁networks , ▁including ▁the ▁" Big ▁Three ". ▁K ul ch ak ▁stated ▁that ▁" it ▁was ▁a ▁great ▁pitch ▁and ▁that ▁everybody ▁laughed , ▁but ▁no ▁one ▁wanted ▁to ▁buy ▁it ". ▁K ul ch ak ▁attributed ▁this ▁due ▁to ▁the ▁show ' s ▁comedy – dr ama ▁format , ▁which ▁was ▁virtually ▁unused ▁at ▁the ▁time . ▁The ▁show ' s ▁producers ▁stated ▁that ▁Psych ' s ▁comedy
- dr ama ▁format ▁is ▁based ▁on ▁the ▁former ▁TV ▁series ' ▁Moon light ing ▁and ▁Rem ington ▁Ste ele , ▁of ▁which ▁creator ▁Steve ▁Fr anks ▁was ▁a ▁long time ▁fan . ▁The ▁final ▁network ▁Fr anks ▁and ▁K ul ch ak ▁pit ched ▁the ▁show ▁to ▁was ▁USA ▁Network . ▁The ▁network ▁loved ▁the ▁concept , ▁and ▁decided ▁to ▁produce ▁the ▁show . ▁However , ▁the ▁network ▁brought ▁in ▁other ▁writers ▁to ▁help ▁with ▁the ▁show , ▁which ▁Steve ▁Fr anks ▁was ▁unhappy ▁about , ▁as ▁he ▁originally ▁intended ▁to ▁make ▁the ▁show ▁entirely ▁himself . ▁ ▁USA ▁Network ▁first ▁announced ▁their ▁potential ▁broadcast ing ▁of ▁Psych ▁on ▁June ▁ 1 7 , ▁ 2 0 0 5 . ▁The ▁network ▁stated ▁that ▁they ▁had ▁requested ▁a ▁pilot ▁episode ▁of ▁the ▁series , ▁to ▁be ▁managed ▁by ▁Tag line ▁Produ ctions . ▁The ▁original ▁working ▁name ▁for ▁the ▁series ▁was ▁" P sy che ". ▁By ▁August ▁ 3 0 , ▁James ▁Rod ay ▁and ▁D ul é ▁Hill ▁had ▁been ▁cast ▁to ▁play ▁the ▁show ' s ▁main ▁characters . ▁It ▁was ▁also ▁announced ▁that ▁the ▁production ▁for ▁the ▁show ' s ▁pilot ▁episode ▁would ▁begin ▁shortly , ▁and ▁the ▁episode ▁would ▁likely ▁air ▁in ▁ 2 0 0 6 . ▁On ▁January ▁ 5 , ▁ 2 0 0 6 , ▁USA ▁announced ▁the ▁Psy che ▁would ▁be ▁competing ▁against ▁In ▁Pl ain ▁S ight , ▁written ▁by ▁David ▁Map les , ▁and ▁Under fund ed , ▁written ▁by
▁David ▁Bre ck man , ▁for ▁air ▁time ▁and ▁broadcast ing ▁slots . ▁Later ▁in ▁January , ▁the ▁network ▁confirmed ▁that ▁the ▁pilot ▁episode ▁for ▁the ▁show ▁would ▁air ▁later ▁that ▁year . ▁They ▁also ▁announced ▁that ▁the ▁show ' s ▁name ▁had ▁changed ▁to ▁Psych . ▁On ▁February ▁ 2 1 , ▁ 2 0 0 6 , ▁USA ▁Network ▁announced ▁that ▁it ▁had ▁ordered ▁eleven ▁one - hour ▁episode ▁scripts ▁for ▁Psych . ▁They ▁confirmed ▁that ▁the ▁show ▁would ▁take ▁Mon k ' s ▁ 1 0 ▁p . m . ▁( EST ) ▁Friday ▁night ▁time ▁slot , ▁and ▁that ▁the ▁pilot ▁episode , ▁planned ▁to ▁be ▁two ▁hours ▁in ▁length , ▁would ▁be ▁broadcast ▁on ▁July ▁ 7 . ▁The ▁network ▁also ▁revealed ▁that ▁Cor bin ▁Bern sen ▁had ▁been ▁cast ▁as ▁another ▁of ▁the ▁show ' s ▁major ▁characters . ▁The ▁network ▁released , ▁on ▁April ▁ 2 7 , ▁that ▁film ing ▁for ▁the ▁pilot ▁episode , ▁which ▁had ▁been ▁cut ▁to ▁ 9 0 ▁minutes ▁in ▁length , ▁had ▁begun ▁in ▁Vancouver , ▁British ▁Columbia . ▁In ▁addition , ▁USA ▁Network ▁announced ▁that ▁Tim othy ▁Om und son ▁and ▁K irst en ▁Nelson ▁would ▁have ▁star ring ▁roles ▁in ▁the ▁episode . ▁ ▁Writing ▁The ▁episode ▁was ▁written ▁by ▁Steve ▁Fr anks , ▁who ▁re used ▁much ▁material ▁from ▁the ▁original ▁pitch ▁to ▁USA ▁Network . ▁The ▁pitch ▁focused ▁on ▁a ▁man ▁who ▁would ▁call ▁in ▁crime - s olving ▁tips ▁to ▁the ▁Santa ▁Barbara ▁Police
▁Department ▁through ▁his ▁photograph ic ▁memory ▁and ▁unc anny ▁ability ▁to ▁notice ▁details . ▁It ▁followed ▁him ▁as ▁he ▁was ▁arrested ▁by ▁the ▁police , ▁talked ▁his ▁way ▁out ▁of ▁jail , ▁and ▁solved ▁a ▁crime ▁for ▁the ▁police ▁department . ▁The ▁plot ▁of ▁the ▁show ▁was ▁later ▁changed ▁to ▁Sh awn ' s ▁fake ▁psych ic ▁ability ▁by ▁the ▁producers . ▁The ▁show ' s ▁intro duct ory ▁flash back ▁to ▁young ▁Sh awn ▁was ▁adapted ▁from ▁the ▁pitch , ▁in ▁which ▁it ▁was ▁located ▁in ▁the ▁middle ▁of ▁the ▁install ment . ▁The ▁use ▁of ▁an ▁intro duct ory ▁flash back ▁has ▁been ▁used ▁in ▁almost ▁all ▁following ▁episodes . ▁Among ▁other ▁scenes ▁added ▁to ▁the ▁episode ▁was ▁a ▁confront ation ▁between ▁Sh awn ▁and ▁Henry ▁at ▁a ▁bar bec ue ▁restaurant , ▁which ▁was ▁added ▁by ▁Cor bin ▁Bern sen , ▁and ▁the ▁episode ' s ▁conclusion , ▁again ▁a ▁confront ation ▁between ▁Sh awn ▁and ▁Henry . ▁In ▁addition , ▁much ▁time ▁was ▁spent ▁rev ising ▁the ▁scene ▁of ▁the ▁arrest ▁of ▁Mr . ▁Mc Call um . ▁ ▁Large ▁portions ▁of ▁the ▁install ment ' s ▁dialogue ▁were ▁impro vis ations ▁made ▁by ▁James ▁Rod ay . ▁Creat or ▁Steve ▁Fr anks ▁stated ▁that ▁" every thing ▁funny ▁that ▁you ▁heard ▁is ▁something ▁I ▁wrote . ▁I ▁wrote ▁everything ▁that ▁gets ▁a ▁laugh , ▁and ▁everything ▁that ▁f ills ▁the ▁time ▁until ▁the ▁next ▁scene ▁is ▁all ▁James ". ▁Several ▁of ▁Rod ay ' s ▁impro vis ations
▁have ▁become ▁re oc cur ring ▁themes ▁on ▁the ▁show ; ▁Sh awn ' s ▁unusual ▁and ▁sp astic ▁" ps ych ic ▁episodes " ▁were ▁added ▁by ▁Rod ay , ▁and ▁was ▁kept ▁by ▁the ▁producers , ▁who ▁loved ▁the ▁idea . ▁Another ▁major ▁theme ▁that ▁was ▁created ▁through ▁Rod ay ' s ▁impro v ising ▁was ▁the ▁inclusion ▁of ▁food ▁in ▁every ▁episode . ▁This ▁was ▁established ▁when ▁Rod ay ▁ate ▁pret z els ▁while ▁talking ▁to ▁G us ▁for ▁the ▁first ▁time ▁in ▁the ▁episode . ▁Also , ▁the ▁inclusion ▁of ▁a ▁pine apple ▁in ▁nearly ▁every ▁episode ▁was ▁established ▁through ▁an ▁impro vised ▁scene ▁during ▁the ▁pilot . ▁In ▁addition , ▁large ▁amounts ▁of ▁dialogue ▁were ▁removed ▁in ▁favor ▁of ▁using ▁visual ▁elements ▁and ▁facial ▁expressions . ▁ ▁Several ▁scenes ▁were ▁deleted ▁from ▁the ▁episode , ▁generally ▁because ▁the ▁producers ▁felt ▁they ▁were ▁not ▁necessary . ▁A ▁short ▁scene ▁about ▁Chief ▁V ick ' s ▁pregnancy ▁was ▁removed ▁from ▁the ▁install ment ▁because ▁it ▁was ▁deemed ▁to ▁be ▁irrelevant ▁to ▁the ▁episode ' s ▁plot . ▁M ention ▁of ▁the ▁chief ' s ▁pregnancy ▁was ▁not ▁made ▁until ▁it ▁was ▁time ▁for ▁her ▁to ▁give ▁birth . ▁A ▁scene ▁about ▁Sh awn ▁hook ing ▁up ▁with ▁K atar ina ▁and ▁then ▁gathering ▁evidence ▁from ▁her ▁was ▁removed ▁from ▁the ▁episode , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁several ▁smaller ▁scenes . ▁ ▁Fil ming ▁ ▁Creat or ▁Steve ▁Fr anks ▁wanted ▁to ▁set ▁Psych ▁in ▁a ▁city ▁that ▁reflected ▁the ▁show '
s ▁personality . ▁Fr anks ▁knew ▁that ▁he ▁did ▁not ▁want ▁the ▁show ▁to ▁be ▁set ▁in ▁a ▁big ▁city ▁atmosphere . ▁While ▁developing ▁Psych , ▁Fr anks ▁visited ▁Santa ▁Barbara ▁while ▁on ▁his ▁h one ym oon . ▁He ▁felt ▁that ▁Santa ▁Barbara ▁was ▁the ▁perfect ▁place ▁to ▁set ▁the ▁show , ▁but ▁that ▁they ▁would ▁be ▁unable ▁to ▁film ▁the ▁show ▁there . ▁Executive ▁producer ▁Mel ▁Dam ski ▁commented ▁the ▁film ing ▁of ▁the ▁show , ▁that ▁“ We ▁wanted ▁to ▁set ▁and ▁film ▁it ▁in ▁Santa ▁Barbara , ▁but ▁the ▁area ▁doesn ’ t ▁really ▁have ▁enough ▁crew members ”. ▁After ▁the ▁show ▁was ▁approved , ▁Fr anks ▁began ▁looking ▁for ▁places ▁to ▁film , ▁sett ling ▁for ▁Vancouver , ▁British ▁Columbia . ▁He ▁felt ▁that ▁Vancouver ▁was ▁" the ▁next ▁best ▁location " ▁to ▁Santa ▁Barbara . ▁ ▁Although ▁Fr anks ▁chose ▁to ▁film ▁the ▁show ▁in ▁Vancouver , ▁most ▁of ▁the ▁show ▁is ▁fil med ▁in ▁the ▁surrounding ▁communities . ▁Appro xim ately ▁ 4 0 % ▁of ▁the ▁pilot ▁was ▁fil med ▁in ▁the ▁Vancouver ▁sub urb ▁of ▁White ▁Rock , ▁including ▁most ▁scenes ▁focusing ▁on ▁coastal ▁areas . ▁Several ▁other ▁scenes ▁were ▁fil med ▁in ▁regional ▁mountains . ▁The ▁entire ▁episode ▁was ▁fil med ▁in ▁real - life ▁locations , ▁instead ▁of ▁the ▁sets ▁used ▁for ▁every ▁episode ▁since . ▁The ▁show ▁had ▁to ▁use ▁real ▁locations ▁due ▁to ▁uncertainty ▁on ▁whether ▁the ▁show ▁would ▁succeed . ▁Not ▁being ▁able ▁to ▁use ▁a ▁stage ▁for ▁film
ing ▁created ▁several ▁issues ▁in ▁the ▁episode . ▁ ▁The ▁install ment ' s ▁opening ▁flash back ▁was ▁fil med ▁at ▁a ▁Vancouver ▁d iner . ▁The ▁small ▁dimensions ▁of ▁the ▁d iner ▁forced ▁the ▁film ing ▁crew ▁to ▁alter ▁the ▁angle ▁of ▁the ▁scene . ▁The ▁entire ▁episode ▁was ▁fil med ▁during ▁November ▁and ▁December , ▁and ▁cold ▁temperatures ▁affected ▁film ing . ▁Pro duc ers ▁commented ▁on ▁how ▁the ▁temperature ▁was ▁usually ▁between ▁ 1 ° C ▁and ▁ 4   ° C ▁( 3 3 . 8 ° F – 3 9 . 2   ° F ). ▁Most ▁scenes ▁involving ▁the ▁Santa ▁Barbara ▁police ▁department ▁were ▁fil med ▁in ▁a ▁working ▁youth ▁host el , ▁H I ▁Vancouver ▁Jer ich o ▁Beach , ▁which ▁was ▁earlier ▁used ▁as ▁an ▁army ▁barr acks . ▁However , ▁one ▁scene ▁was ▁fil med ▁in ▁a ▁" ha unted " ▁insane ▁as yl um , ▁which ▁later ▁inspired ▁the ▁first - season ▁finale ▁" Sc ary ▁Sher ry : ▁B ian ca ' s ▁To ast ". ▁Rain ▁also ▁tam per ed ▁with ▁film ing ▁of ▁the ▁episode . ▁Several ▁outdoor ▁scenes ▁in ▁the ▁episode ▁were ▁fil med ▁in ▁heavy ▁rain , ▁and ▁forced ▁the ▁crew ▁to ▁use ▁tar ps ▁and ▁additional ▁sound ▁equipment . ▁ ▁Due ▁to ▁environmental ▁differences ▁between ▁Santa ▁Barbara ▁and ▁Vancouver , ▁the ▁crew ▁had ▁to ▁use ▁several ▁different ▁props ▁to ▁make ▁the ▁install ment ▁seem ▁belie v able . ▁The ▁producers ▁brought ▁in ▁fake ▁palm ▁trees , ▁surf
boards , ▁and ▁Southern ▁California ▁newspapers ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁make ▁White ▁Rock ▁seem ▁like ▁Santa ▁Barbara . ▁Pro duc ers ▁commented ▁on ▁how ▁they ▁made ▁many ▁mistakes ▁in ▁writing ▁the ▁episode . ▁Steve ▁Fr anks ▁acknowledged ▁that ▁" with in ▁the ▁first ▁ 6 ▁seconds ▁of ▁the ▁show , ▁we ▁made ▁a ▁mistake ". ▁The ▁install ment ' s ▁murder ▁scene ▁was ▁considered ▁by ▁the ▁producers ▁to ▁be ▁" the ▁most ▁gru esome ▁thing ▁we ' ve ▁ever ▁done ▁on ▁the ▁show ". ▁ ▁Re ception ▁I GN ▁gave ▁the ▁episode ▁a ▁favor able ▁review , ▁saying ▁that ▁although ▁the ▁ 9 0 - minute ▁episode ▁" dr ags ▁on ▁a ▁bit ▁longer ▁than ▁it ▁needs ▁to " ▁it ▁" c ertain ly ▁has ▁the ▁m ak ings ▁of ▁a ▁fun ▁and ▁diver ting ▁series ." ▁Richard ▁K eller ▁of ▁TV S quad . com ▁had ▁a ▁few ▁issues ▁with ▁the ▁first ▁episodes ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁location ▁and ▁the ▁under util ization ▁of ▁D ule ▁Hill , ▁other ▁than ▁that ▁he ▁stated ▁that ▁the ▁show ' s ▁concept ▁" works ▁well ; ▁even ▁better ▁than ▁Mon k ▁in ▁many ▁respect s ". ▁On ▁other ▁hand , ▁Pe oples ▁Tom ▁G li atto ▁declared ▁" Un like ▁Mon k , ▁a ▁gently ▁comic ▁character ▁cop ing ▁with ▁mental ▁illness , ▁Rod ay ' s ▁just ▁an ▁over g rown ▁kid . ▁Who ▁needs ▁him ?" ▁ ▁Re ferences ▁Foot notes ▁ ▁Bibli ography ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ ▁Category : P sy ch ▁episodes ▁Category : 2 0
