<<Only in Korea Part-5>>

Continuing from Part-4
=================================================
=================================================

As you can see, Korean people’s insistence of “Japan killed Korean queen and forcefully invaded Korea!” is a childish and nonsense lie without any historical back ground in hopes of trying to pretend as though they were the victims of Japan. Don’t get cheated by Korean scam.  You’ll find out more about what kind of people Koreans are.

In reality, the developed country Japan was invited by Korean Queen Myung because Korean Queen Myung was a Pro-Japan. She envied and loved Japan. There was no reason for Japan to invade Korea at all because Japan was welcomed to stay in Korea by the ardent request from Korean Queen Myung who was a huge fan of Japan.
However, there were people who wanted to kill Korean Queen Myung so bad. It was all Korean people.


There were several reasons for Koreans to want to kill Korean Queen Myung.

=(Reason 1)====

 For majority of Ryangban (Class of nobles), Korean Queen was an unwelcomed dictator designated by China because she wasn’t protecting the privileges of Ryangban.

=(Reason 2) ====

For majority of civilians, they hated Korean Queen because she and Ryangban stole everything from them.

= (Reason 3) ====

 For some Ryangban and civilians, they wanted to kill or kick Korean Queen out of Korea BECAUSE they wanted to become independent from CHINA.

The 3rd reason is the most important reason as you continue to read.
Those Koreans who wanted to become independent from China had a different envision from the rest of Koreans because those Koreans had visited Japan before and found out that there was such a wonderful country Japan existed. And they envied the civilized and sophisticated people and culture of Japan where people didn’t steal others belongings, no trashes on the streets, and people behaved polite being clad in a suit. At that time, Koreans were still at the level of primitive living in straw houses, stealing, cheating, murder, slavery and being clad in the white robes even in the capital city of Seoul Korea.
Those Koreans who witnessed the society of Japan wanted to be like Japanese.
But in order to be like Japan, they knew they had to be independent from China. They needed to detach themselves from more than thousands of years of Chinese curse.


=< The Reason >===========================

Now, I want you to understand why Korea asked Japan for help.
If Japan was as horrible country as China which robbed everything from Korea, Korea would have had no reason to ask Japan for help because it would be another headache for Korea to have another bully country which tried to exploit Korea. But because Japan was ethically and morally high as the developed country which never exploited other countries in history, Koreans voluntarily asked Japan for help.

For Koreans, Japan was like a wonderland where there were no slaves, no thieves, no frauds, no arrogant gangsters like Ryangban. But instead there were schools, hospitals, railroads, dams, battleships and everything, none of which Korea had. Korea didn’t even have electricity for light so they were living in straw houses with oil lamps at a night. (Just like North Korean people today)

Before Japan annexed Korea, there wasn’t even a hospital in Korea. There was no concept of medicine in Korean culture. The only thing they had was Shamanism. When people got sick, those Shamans prayed for their patients. That was it. So the average longevity of Korea before annexation (according to the official documents) was only 25. After the annexation, Korean’s average longevity drastically improved to 45. Thanks to modern medicine introduced by Japan!

Those Koreans visited Japan knew Japan was genetically and culturally absolutely different breed from Chinese based East Asian countries. And in addition to that, Japan was generous. There was no concept of “Generousity” in Chinese based East Asian culture which included Korea. That’s why Koreans were eager to ask Japan for help.


================================
From here, I will show you the actual history of why Koreans wanted Japan to annex Korea in details. And who actually got involved in the crucial parts of history.
All of the actual history and evidences are banned in Korea to see. And if you were Westerners or anyone other than Japanese, you wouldn’t have any chances to see the actual Korean and Chinese history in your country. So if you want to let your friends know the actual history of China and Korea, please help yourself and share these series with your friends.   


=<Crucial Korean History 2>=============


Around late 1870’s, many Koreans studied in Japan because there was no school, nor was there University in Korea. Korean people wanted to learn in the developed country Japan.

Those Koreans, who studied in Japan, had a strong ambition to make Korea independent from China. So those Koreans aggressively contacted Japanese politicians to develop their ties with Japan during the time.

At that time in Korea, there were three major political parties beginning to form.
One was to keep the conventional status as the slave province of China. This Conservative Party was the main stream of Korea since their ancient time worshiping China.
2nd one was a new party called “Peaceful Revolutionary Party” which held a belief that Korea should develop future with both China and Japan without a physical fight.

The last one was Independence Party which had a belief that Korea should become independent from China (meaning removing the existence of China from Korea). And this revolutionary Koreans were the ones studying in Japan. And they were the Koreans who desperately asked Japan for help to make Korea independent from China.

Please take a look at the attached picture. I listed up some of the revolutionary Koreans who had been studying in Japan because they played the huge roles in the following events after “Imo Coup”.



=< Struggling to become independent >=========

In 1882, “Imo Incident/Coup” had triggered in Korea. It was the first time movement in Korean history ever attempted to remove China from Korea by Koreans. But their initial attempt soon became failure in front of the overpowering Chinese Army.

After the incident got settled down, Korean Queen Myung sent her errands to Japan for apology (amendment).
The leader of errands was “Park Yung-hio”(See the attached image “A”) a member of Independence Party. 
=( Park Yung-hio in Wikipedia )=============

 (English version has only little information and there are distortions)
======================================

And one of his assistants was “Kim Ok-gyun” (See the attached image “B”) who was a leader of Independence Party.
=( Kim Ok-gyun in Wikipedia )=============
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Ok-gyun
 (English version has only little information and there are distortions)
======================================

Kim Ok-gyun and “Soh Jaipil” (See the attached image “C”) had been living in Japan until Imo Coup happened so he had a clout with Japanese politicians and Yukichi Fukuzawa (The most famous and influential Japanese educator during Meiji period).
=( Soh Jaipil in Wikipedia )=============
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soh_Jaipil
 (English version has only little information and there are distortions)
======================================

The total 20 errands from Korea visited Japan for apology and stayed for about two months from October 1882 till December 1882.
During the time, those Koreans met with Japanese Emperor and requested (asked and begged) to support the independence of Korea from China.



=<Attention!>=========================

 This is the important fact! Koreans asked Japan to help Korea become independent. Can you see a huge discrepancy current Korean people have?
If Japan was an absolute Evil country as all Korean people insist today, why Koreans voluntarily asked and begged Japan for help? People don’t ask absolute Evil people for their help, right? If you are in need of help, you look for someone who is kind and good-hearted person, right?  You want help from someone who is generous and compassionate, right? See? Koreans are all liars, right? Moreover, when Koreans testify “Japan killed Korean Queen and invaded Korea!”, Koreans never mention the existence of China which had been torturing Korea as their slave for thousands of years.

Please keep that in your mind because the same thing happens again and again in the following events. And this was the reason for why Japan and China got into war as the consequent event.  It was Korea, which played with the minds of two countries China and Japan, and made them go to war.
(The above isn’t my personal opinion, but from a respectable historic researcher Huang Wenxiong who is native Taiwanese. And many Japanese professionals agree with his opinion)
=======================================



Koreans failed to become independent from China by the initial attempt of Imo Coup but they couldn’t give up on the ambition of becoming independent. Japan was the only hope for Koreans so they determined to “use” Japan for their second battle against China.  (See? Japan was like a super-hero for Koreans. You’ll find out more as you continue to read)


==< Rotten Country Korea >==============


 When the errands of Korea returned to Korea (after Imo Coup), they found out that their country was totally corrupt.
Queen Myungu was into Shamanism. She invited Shamans from all over Korea and let them stay in and occupy Korean palace and held a ritual of Shamanism twice a day.  And because of her practices, Korea was running out of its budget.
What was worse was that Germany “Paul Georg” who was initially recommended by Chinese minister, and later designated to become Foreign Secretary of Korea by Korean King, wasn’t doing anything good for Korea.


=< The Germany Paul Georg >======

 Paul Georg was an ambitious Germany who tried to make a fortune working for China. He was first European man who became a high official of Korea and was deeply trusted by Chinese government and Korean King but the way he was doing wasn’t doing anything good for Korea. Or at least that’s how he looked in the eyes of Independence Party.

 (English version has only little information and there are distortions)

=< A little information >========

 Paul Georg was in charge of handling customs at 3 ports in Korea. And he was managing to extract some money from customs revenue and gave it to Queen Myung.

In 1883, when Paul Georg found out that Korean treasury was at the risk of bankruptcy, he advised Korean government to produce money (coin). And at two locations, the coin was produced a lot. To that, Independence Party fiercely rejected because it could trigger inflation (Like the value of money drops, and you will have to pay $10,000 for a bottle of milk, and one million dollars for a beef steak) and could collapse Korean economy. Independence Party led by Kim Ok-gyun proposed an alternative idea to Korean Queen and Paul Georg that he could borrow money from Japan. (See? Koreans were totally counting on generous Japan for their “use”.  Where is the character of “Absolute Evil Country Japan”?)

Kim Ok-gyun’s insistence was correct in economic-aspect. but in the eyes of both Queen Myung and Paul Georg, Kim Ok-gyun and the members of Independence Party were nothing but pain in their asses so that the member of Independence Party were quickly alienated within the government by Queen Myung.
This traditional Korean political system, a country privatized by a dictator such as King and Queen, was called “Seido Politics”. And it is pointed out by many historic researchers today that Seido Politics was the reason for Joseon Dynasty's extinct. However, this Seido Politics is still continuing in North Korea today. That’s the genuine traditional Korean culture which is all corrupt.

=(Seido Politics in Japanese勢道政治)================
=====================================


In June 1883, Kim Ok-gyun visited Japan 3rd time with a petition written by Korean King.
Japanese high officials were generously telling Kim Ok-gyun that if he brought a petition written by Korean King, Japan could lend money. However, the amount of money Korean King requested in the petition was huge $30,000 which was the annual budget for Korea.
Japan’s annual budget back then was $500,000. So it was huge (17% of Japan’s annual budget) for Japan.
Therefore, because Korea wasn’t an important country for Japan in the first place, in addition to the fact that there was almost no chance the huge loan could be paid off under the corrupt and unstable country Korea, the request didn't get approval from Japanese government.

Then, Kim Ok-gyun sought for help from France and US but both countries didn't lend money to Korea.
Kim ended up returning to Korea with empty hands in a huge disappointment in May of 1884.

=<Circumstances>=====================

 I want to stop at this point and tell you this. As you can see, those Koreans who wanted to make Korea independent from China were asking Japan for help and they thought they could borrow money from Japan. However, even for generous Japan, there was no reason to help or lend money to Korea while sacrificing its own budget because Japan and Korea were totally irrelevant countries to each other since ancient time. So Japan was, as one of developed countries like British and US, looking at Korea as the undeveloped part of China.
The only reason for Japan to help Korea, if there was, would be this. “Korea could become a new market for Japan” There was this thought within Japanese high officials. So that Japan was leaning toward the idea of helping Korea.
For Korea, Japan France British and US were developed countries so Korea thought developed countries would help poor Korea, although it was their usual selfish and conceited typical Korean way of thinking.



=< Gapsin Coup on December 4th 1884 >==============

 Only two years after “Imo coup”, another large coup (riot) triggered again.
It was the second time attempt for Korea to become independent from China.
This coup called “Gapsin Coup” was initiated by Independence Party led by Kim Ok-gyun.
The first try “Imo Coup” was a huge failure attempted by all Koreans (Ryangban and civilians). But this time, Independence Party decided to “use” Japan for their own benefits because they knew that they couldn’t become independent from overpowering China by themselves.
Here’s how it happened…
