Korea’s Last Empress: The Assassination of Queen Min

The death of Queen Min, Korea’s first empress and a pivotal figure in late 19th-century Korean politics, occurred under circumstances complicated by an unusual historical detail: no reliable images of the monarch existed beyond the palace walls.

On the morning of October 8, 1895, a group of Japanese-backed assassins stormed Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul with orders to kill the empress. The lack of widely circulated portraits meant the attackers could not identify their target by sight—a challenge that added confusion to an already violent raid.

Queen Min, known posthumously as Empress Myeongseong, had emerged as a powerful political force during Korea’s tumultuous transition period. She advocated for modernization policies and sought to counter growing Japanese influence on the Korean peninsula, positioning herself against conservative factions and foreign interests alike.For years, the agent was in extremist groups, helping the police stop attacks and catch IS terrorists.He is now coming out of the shadows to raise the alarm about the rise of teenage terrorism and hate crimes in Australia and around the world.
