She was deeply involved in the politics of Joseon during a turbulent period by promoting modernization policies. As Japan's rule over Joseon intensified following the Sino-Japanese War in 1894, she sought to counter Japan by joining hands with Russia (引俄拒日), and this became the direct cause triggering Japan's Eulmi Incident. Under the command of Japanese Minister to Korea Miura Goro, Japanese troops and ronin launched a surprise attack on Gyeongbokgung Palace at dawn on October 8, 1895, assassinating Empress Myeongseong, and her body was burned outside the palace. This incident was a tragedy in modern Korean history and became the direct cause of the Eulmi Righteous Army Uprising and the Agwan Incident. ──────────────────────────────────── 📚 References ─────────────────────────────────── • Encyclopedia of Korean Culture - Empress Myeongseong, Eulmi Incident • Report by British Consul in Korea, Hillier (1895) • Records of the Japanese Legation in Korea • 『Russian Secret Documents on the Assassination of Empress Myeongseong』 (Lee Young-sook, 2006) • 『The Assassination of Empress Myeongseong and the Agwan-Pacheon』 (Lee Min-won, 2002) ────────────────────────────────── 🎬 Series Introduction: Joseon Women Stories ─────────────────────────────────── History has always been recorded in the voices of men.
