Question

How much money does the government spend on enforcing the foreign corrupt practices act?

Answer

The Japanese, Emperor Meiji in particular, viewed her as an obstacle. However, efforts to neutralize her or to remove her from Korea's government continuously failed due to Emperor Gojong's devotion. The Japanese resorted to sending ambassadors to Korea's royal court, but such efforts were eventually repelled, again by Empress Myeong-Seong. As a result, the Japanese minister to Korea, Miura Goro, faced with losing Korea to other foreign powers, hired Japanese men to invade the Korean imperial residence and assassinate the empress in 1895. They killed three women suspected of being Queen Min, and when they verified which was the Queen, they violated her dead body and then burned the corpse. Recent documents discovered in Japan in 1966 show that this was not exactly what happened. The Japanese report states, the last Queen of Korea was stripped naked, her genitals fondled, raped, and then burned alive. The murder of Queen Min was witnessed by a Russian officer Sabatin and other foreign envoys who protested heavily. Sabatin graduated from the Russian Imperial Military Academy and came to Korea as an aide to Gen. Dai. After the Japanese annexation of Korea in 1910, Miura was “honored” and awarded a seat at the "Sumistsuyen", the advisory board to the Emperor. The documents had remained hidden for 70 years until a Japanese historian, Ahmabe Gentaro (1905-1977) discovered it. All the above information can be verified at the Japanese National Diet Library, Constitutional Government Collection Gallery, Historical Documents Section.
