Gojong (Hangul: 고종; Hanja: 高宗; RR: Gojong; MR: Kojong), the Emperor Gwangmu (Hangul: 광무제; Hanja: 光武帝; RR: Gwangmuje; MR: Kwangmuje; 8 September 1852--21 January 1919) was the twenty-sixth king of the Korean Joseon Dynasty and the first emperor of the Korean Empire.
Emperor Sunjong(Korean; 순종) or Emperor Yung-Hui (Korean ; 융희제; Chinese Character ; 隆熙帝)(March 25, 1874 -- April 24, 1926) was the last emperor of the Joseon Dynasty and Korean Empire in Korea, ruling from 1907 until 1910. His Birthname was Cheok Yi (Korean; 이척, Chinese Character; 李拓)
He is the fourth son of Emperor Gojong (Emperor Gwangmu). He became Crown Prince of Joseon Dynasty in 1878, and became the 27th Sovereign of Joseon Dynasty as 'Emperor Yung-Hui' when the Japanese forced the abdication of Emperor Gojong in 1907.
His short reign ended with the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty of 1910. After Annexation Treaty, he was put in the Changdeokgung Palace for confinement by the Japanese Government. He died on April 24, 1926 in Changdeokgung Palace.
This film was taken in May 7th, 1926, when the funeral was took place. This footage may be a excerpt from a presumed-lost Korean documentary film, "The Funeral of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Sunjong"(Released in 1928), but this is still in dispute. The footage was edited in 1959, adding some narration and Gayagum(A Korean string instrument)music soundtrack.

Korean Empire
--------------------
The Korean Empire, Corea, or Daehan Jeguk (Greater Korean Empire or Great Han Empire) is the name of the state of Korea that existed from the Proclamation of the Korean Empire in October 1897 to the Annexation of Korea by Japan on August 20, 1910. It succeeded the Joseon Dynasty. In October 1897, Emperor Gojong proclaimed the new entity at Gyeongungung Palace and oversaw the partially successful modernization of the military, economy, land system, education system, and various industries. Japan became wary of the speed at which the Korean Empire was modernizing and decided to speed up its plans for annexation. These plans were accelerated after the assassination of Ito Hirobumi. On August 22, 1910, Korea was annexed by Imperial Japan. With the assassination of his wife Empress Myeongseong, King Gojong and Crown Prince (later became Emperor Sunjong) fled to the Russian legation in 1896. During the time from Queen Min's death to the king's return from Russian protection, Korea underwent another major upheaval both at home and abroad. By 1894, new laws passed by pro-Japanese progressives in the royal cabinet forced through long-desired reforms aimed at revamping Korea's antiquated society. These laws were called the Gabo Reforms referring to the year (1894) in which they began. Meanwhile, the new reforms aimed at modernizing Korean society soon attracted controversy from within. Anti-Japanese sentiment, which had already become entrenched in the minds of commoners and aristocrats alike during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592--1598), became pervasive in the royal court and upper echelons of society following the Ganghwa Treaty of 1876 and soon extended explosively to most Koreans following perceived Japanese meddling in court politics and the assassination of Empress Myeongseong. However, the new and controversial reforms pushed forward by the pro-Japanese progressives ignited further resentment and discontent. This led to the uprising of the Eulmi temporary armies aimed at avenging the assassination of Empress Myeongseong. In 1897, King Gojong, yielding to rising pressure from both overseas and the demands of the Independence Association-led public opinion, returned to Gyeongungung (modern-day Deoksugung). There, he proclaimed the founding of the Empire of Korea, officially redesignated the national title as such, and declared the new era name Gwangmu (meaning warrior of light), effectively severing Korea's superficial historic ties as a tributary of Qing Dynasty, which Korea had adhered to since the prior Manchurian invasion in 1636. King Gojong became the Gwangmu Emperor, the first imperial head of state and hereditary sovereign of the Empire of Korea. This marked the complete end of the old world order and traditional amicable dependency system in the Far East. Korea's new status as an empire meant "Complete independence from Qing's sphere of influence" which means Korea was not influenced by Qing externally according to the Treaty of Shimonoseki of 1895 and also implemented the "full and complete" independence according to the treaty. The name, meaning "Great Han Empire," was chosen to indicate the revival of the Samhan confederacies of the Proto--Three Kingdoms of Korea, in the tradition of naming new states after historic states. The significance of the declaration of an Empire, in the Korean understanding of the situation was to declare Koreas independence and equality with China and Japan. Historically, the usage of Emperor was reserved for the Chinese Emperor, the Son of Heaven. Some Korean dynasties had acknowledged themselves as vassals of the Chinese, and had refrained from ever declaring their equality with China. When Japan experienced the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese Emperor was declared the source of sovereignty in the Japanese government. The Japanese government sent news of the Meiji Restoration, the Korean government refused to acknowledge the change. Not only did it challenge the supremacy of the Chinese Emperor as the suzerains of Korea but it also made Japan address Korea as an equal, rather then as a Chinese subservient. The change in title for Korea to Empire only became possible after the Sino-Japanese war. The Gwangmu reform was aimed at modernizing and westernizing Korea as a late starter in the industrial revolution. However, Gwangmu Reform was not a radical because of foreign liabilities, suppression of democracy, and various other factors. As a result, Korea was suppressed by Japan, China, and Russia.

A discovery of rare photographs taken in Korea during the late 19th and early 20th century has revealed never-before-seen images of key figures in Korea′s history.
Our Yim Yoonhee joins us today with more on this story.
Last year, a huge collection of pictures taken during Korea′s modern history were found by a Korean professor at Rutgers University in the state of New Jersey.
They were discovered in the William Elliot Griffis Collection and, of the 592 photographs found, hundreds had never been seen by the public before, including the ones you′re about to look at.
The fifth son of Korea′s Emperor Gwangmu, Prince Yi Kang, lived during a tumultuous time in Korean history, during the First Sino-Japanese War.
This recently discovered shot is one of the earliest pictures of the prince, taken in 1899 when he left to study abroad in the United States.
Another photograph is of Heungseon Daewongun , known to some Westerners as Prince Gung.
He served as regent of the Joseon Dynasty while King Gojong was a minor during the 1860s.
The picture on the right, believed to be of him in his 40s, shows a much younger version of him.
Seo Jae-pil, also known as Philip Jaisohn, was a leader in Korea′s fight for independence, even putting together the doomed Gapsin Coup to oust the Joseon-era leadership.
He was the first Korean to receive U.S. citizenship and this new picture on the left shows a young 23-year-old Seo, taken in 1887.
Another leader of the failed Gapsin Coup was Park Yeoung-ho. This rare image of the Korean politician at 25, before his involvement with the enlightenment movement of Korea.
And lastly, Kim Ok-gyun, a reformist during the late Joseon Dynasty.
The image on the left shows him at 35 years old, and though there are many black-and-white photos of him, this is the first known color photograph of Kim.
And while these pictures reveal a small piece of Korea′s history, musician Hwang Byung-ki holds on to history in his own way.
For decades, he′s been a master of the gayageum, one of Korea′s most popular traditional Korean instruments.
And now, a new book about Hwang, compiled by English scholar Andrew Killick over 25 years, has recently been published in Korean.
This is a book that was first written in English, and as you were telling me earlier, it was translated into Korean because of the importance of the content.
That′s right. Hwang Byung-ki is a very important composer and musician here in the country.
And this is the first book in English to cover an Asian composer who writes music for Asian instruments.
Now, for those of you who don′t know, the gayageum is a 12-stringed zither that′s plucked.
But the history of the instrument dates all the way back to the 6th century, where it was an important part of Korean culture, and now it′s still played by musicians of all ages, despite the growing trend towards Western instruments.
So Hwang is an important figure in Korea′s traditional music history.

The Republic of Korea Army (ROKA; Korean: 대한민국 육군; Hanja: 大韓民國 陸軍; Revised Romanization: Daehanminguk Yuk-gun), also known as the ROK Army, is the army of South Korea, responsible for ground-based warfare. It is the largest of the military branches of the South Korean armed forces with 506,000 members as of 2012. This size is maintained through conscription; South Korean men must complete 21 months of military service between the age of 18 and 35.
The army will take the brunt of the personnel reduction part of the Defense Reform 2020. Associated with this personnel reduction would be a significant reduction in the ROK Army force structure, in particular decreasing the current force of 47 divisions (active duty and reserve) down to a force of about 24 divisions...
The modern Korean Army traces its lineage back to the Gwangmu Reform, when the Beolgyegoon was established by Emperor Gojong in 1881. in The 1st of every October is celebrated in South Korea as the Armed Forces Day. It commemorates the day during the Korean War when units of the ROK Army first crossed the 38th Parallel, thus leading the UN Coalition north into North Korean territory for the first time...

By 1894, new laws passed by pro-Japanese progressives in the royal cabinet forced through long-desired reforms aimed at revamping Korea's antiquated society. These laws were called the Gabo Reforms referring to the year (1894) in which they began. Meanwhile, the new reforms aimed at modernizing Korean society soon attracted controversy from within. Anti-Japanese sentiment, which had already become entrenched in the minds of commoners and aristocrats alike during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592--1598), became pervasive in the royal court and upper echelons of society following the Ganghwa Treaty of 1876 and soon extended explosively to most Koreans following perceived Japanese meddling in court politics and the assassination of Empress Myeongseong. However, the new and controversial reforms pushed forward by the pro-Japanese progressives ignited further resentment and discontent. This led to the uprising of the Eulmi temporary armies aimed at avenging the assassination of Empress Myeongseong. In 1897, King Gojong, yielding to rising pressure from both overseas and the demands of the Independence Association-led public opinion, returned to Gyeongungung (modern-day Deoksugung). There, he proclaimed the founding of the Empire of Korea, officially redesignated the national title as such, and declared the new era name Gwangmu (meaning warrior of light), effectively severing Korea's superficial historic ties as a tributary of Qing Dynasty, which Korea had adhered to since the prior Manchurian invasion in 1636. King Gojong became the Gwangmu Emperor, the first imperial head of state and hereditary sovereign of the Empire of Korea. This marked the complete end of the old world order and traditional amicable dependency system in the Far East. Korea's new status as an empire meant "Completely independence from Qing's sphere of influence" which means Korea was not influenced from Qing externally according to the Treaty of Shimonoseki of 1895 and also implemented the "full and complete" independence according to the treaty. The name, meaning "Great Han Empire," was chosen to indicate the revival of the Samhan confederacies of the Proto--Three Kingdoms of Korea, in the tradition of naming new states after historic states. The significance of the declaration of an Empire, in the Korean understanding of the situation was to declare Koreas independence and equality with China and Japan. Historically, the usage of Emperor was reserved for the Chinese Emperor, the Son of Heaven. Korean dynasties had acknowledged themselves as vassals of the Chinese, and had refrained from ever declaring their equality with China. When Japan experienced the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese Emperor was declared the source of sovereignty in the Japanese government. The Japanese government sent news of the Meiji Restoration, the Korean government refused to acknowledge the change. Not only did it challenge the primacy of the Chinese Emperor as the suzerains of Korea but Japans address also addressed Korea as an equal, rather then as a Chinese subservient. The change in title for Korea to Empire only became possible after the Sino-Japanese war. The Gwangmu reform was aimed at modernizing and westernizing Korea as a late starter in the industrial revolution. However, Gwangmu Reform was not a radical because of foreign liabilities, suppression of democracy, and various other factors. As a result, Korea was suppressed by Japan, China, and Russia.

Korean Empire -------------------- The Korean Empire, Corea, or Daehan Jeguk (Greater Korean Empire or Great Han Empire) is the name of the state of Korea that existed from the Proclamation of the Korean Empire in October 1897 to the Annexation of Korea by Japan on August 20, 1910. It succeeded the Joseon Dynasty. In October 1897, Emperor Gojong proclaimed the new entity at Gyeongungung Palace and oversaw the partially successful modernization of the military, economy, land system, education system, and various industries. Japan became wary of the speed at which the Korean Empire was modernizing and decided to speed up its plans for annexation. These plans were accelerated after the assassination of Ito Hirobumi. On August 22, 1910, Korea was annexed by Imperial Japan.

A discovery of rare photographs taken in Korea during the late 19th and early 20th century has revealed never-before-seen images of key figures in Korea′s history. Our Yim Yoonhee joins us today with more on this story. Last year, a huge collection of pictures taken during Korea′s modern history were found by a Korean professor at Rutgers University in the state of New Jersey. They were discovered in the William Elliot Griffis Collection and, of the 592 photographs found, hundreds had never been seen by the public before, including the ones you′re about to look at. The fifth son of Korea′s Emperor Gwangmu, Prince Yi Kang, lived during a tumultuous time in Korean history, during the First Sino-Japanese War. This recently discovered shot is one of the earliest pictures of the prince, taken in 1899 when he left to study abroad in the United States. Another photograph is of Heungseon Daewongun , known to some Westerners as Prince Gung. He served as regent of the Joseon Dynasty while King Gojong was a minor during the 1860s. The picture on the right, believed to be of him in his 40s, shows a much younger version of him. Seo Jae-pil, also known as Philip Jaisohn, was a leader in Korea′s fight for independence, even putting together the doomed Gapsin Coup to oust the Joseon-era leadership. He was the first Korean to receive U.S. citizenship and this new picture on the left shows a young 23-year-old Seo, taken in 1887. Another leader of the failed Gapsin Coup was Park Yeoung-ho. This rare image of the Korean politician at 25, before his involvement with the enlightenment movement of Korea. And lastly, Kim Ok-gyun, a reformist during the late Joseon Dynasty. The image on the left shows him at 35 years old, and though there are many black-and-white photos of him, this is the first known color photograph of Kim. And while these pictures reveal a small piece of Korea′s history, musician Hwang Byung-ki holds on to history in his own way. For decades, he′s been a master of the gayageum, one of Korea′s most popular traditional Korean instruments. And now, a new book about Hwang, compiled by English scholar Andrew Killick over 25 years, has recently been published in Korean. This is a book that was first written in English, and as you were telling me earlier, it was translated into Korean because of the importance of the content. That′s right. Hwang Byung-ki is a very important composer and musician here in the country. And this is the first book in English to cover an Asian composer who writes music for Asian instruments. Now, for those of you who don′t know, the gayageum is a 12-stringed zither that′s plucked. But the history of the instrument dates all the way back to the 6th century, where it was an important part of Korean culture, and now it′s still played by musicians of all ages, despite the growing trend towards Western instruments. So Hwang is an important figure in Korea′s traditional music history. Let′s go back to th -

Korean Empire
--------------------
The Korean Empire, Corea, or Daehan Jeguk (Greater Korean Empire or Great Han Empire) is the name of the state of Korea that existed from the Proclamation of the Korean Empire in October 1897 to the Annexation of Korea by Japan on August 20, 1910. It succeeded the Joseon Dynasty. In October 1897, Emperor Gojong proclaimed the new entity at Gyeongungung Palace and oversaw the partially successful modernization of the military, economy, land system, education system, and various industries. Japan became wary of the speed at which the Korean Empire was modernizing and decided to speed up its plans for annexation. These plans were accelerated after the assassination of Ito Hirobumi. On August 22, 1910, Korea was annexed by Imperial Japan. With the assassination of his wife Empress Myeongseong, King Gojong and Crown Prince (later became Emperor Sunjong) fled to the Russian legation in 1896. During the time from Queen Min's death to the king's return from Russian protection, Korea underwent another major upheaval both at home and abroad. By 1894, new laws passed by pro-Japanese progressives in the royal cabinet forced through long-desired reforms aimed at revamping Korea's antiquated society. These laws were called the Gabo Reforms referring to the year (1894) in which they began. Meanwhile, the new reforms aimed at modernizing Korean society soon attracted controversy from within. Anti-Japanese sentiment, which had already become entrenched in the minds of commoners and aristocrats alike during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592--1598), became pervasive in the royal court and upper echelons of society following the Ganghwa Treaty of 1876 and soon extended explosively to most Koreans following perceived Japanese meddling in court politics and the assassination of Empress Myeongseong. However, the new and controversial reforms pushed forward by the pro-Japanese progressives ignited further resentment and discontent. This led to the uprising of the Eulmi temporary armies aimed at avenging the assassination of Empress Myeongseong. In 1897, King Gojong, yielding to rising pressure from both overseas and the demands of the Independence Association-led public opinion, returned to Gyeongungung (modern-day Deoksugung). There, he proclaimed the founding of the Empire of Korea, officially redesignated the national title as such, and declared the new era name Gwangmu (meaning warrior of light), effectively severing Korea's superficial historic ties as a tributary of Qing Dynasty, which Korea had adhered to since the prior Manchurian invasion in 1636. King Gojong became the Gwangmu Emperor, the first imperial head of state and hereditary sovereign of the Empire of Korea. This marked the complete end of the old world order and traditional amicable dependency system in the Far East. Korea's new status as an empire meant "Complete independence from Qing's sphere of influence" which means Korea was not influenced by Qing externally according to the Treaty of Shimonoseki of 1895 and also implemented the "full and complete" independence according to the treaty. The name, meaning "Great Han Empire," was chosen to indicate the revival of the Samhan confederacies of the Proto--Three Kingdoms of Korea, in the tradition of naming new states after historic states. The significance of the declaration of an Empire, in the Korean understanding of the situation was to declare Koreas independence and equality with China and Japan. Historically, the usage of Emperor was reserved for the Chinese Emperor, the Son of Heaven. Some Korean dynasties had acknowledged themselves as vassals of the Chinese, and had refrained from ever declaring their equality with China. When Japan experienced the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese Emperor was declared the source of sovereignty in the Japanese government. The Japanese government sent news of the Meiji Restoration, the Korean government refused to acknowledge the change. Not only did it challenge the supremacy of the Chinese Emperor as the suzerains of Korea but it also made Japan address Korea as an equal, rather then as a Chinese subservient. The change in title for Korea to Empire only became possible after the Sino-Japanese war. The Gwangmu reform was aimed at modernizing and westernizing Korea as a late starter in the industrial revolution. However, Gwangmu Reform was not a radical because of foreign liabilities, suppression of democracy, and various other factors. As a result, Korea was suppressed by Japan, China, and Russia.

Korean Empire
--------------------
The Korean Empire, Corea, or Daehan Jeguk (Greater Korean Empire or Great Han Empire) is the name of the state of Korea that existed from the Proclamation of the Korean Empire in October 1897 to the Annexation of Korea by Japan on August 20, 1910. It succeeded the Joseon Dynasty. In October 1897, Emperor Gojong proclaimed the new entity at Gyeongungung Palace and oversaw the partially successful modernization of the military, economy, land system, education system, and various industries. Japan became wary of the speed at which the Korean Empire was modernizing and decided to speed up its plans for annexation. These plans were accelerated after the assassination of Ito Hirobumi. On August 22, 1910, Korea was annexed by Imperial Japan. With the assassination of his wife Empress Myeongseong, King Gojong and Crown Prince (later became Emperor Sunjong) fled to the Russian legation in 1896. During the time from Queen Min's death to the king's return from Russian protection, Korea underwent another major upheaval both at home and abroad. By 1894, new laws passed by pro-Japanese progressives in the royal cabinet forced through long-desired reforms aimed at revamping Korea's antiquated society. These laws were called the Gabo Reforms referring to the year (1894) in which they began. Meanwhile, the new reforms aimed at modernizing Korean society soon attracted controversy from within. Anti-Japanese sentiment, which had already become entrenched in the minds of commoners and aristocrats alike during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592--1598), became pervasive in the royal court and upper echelons of society following the Ganghwa Treaty of 1876 and soon extended explosively to most Koreans following perceived Japanese meddling in court politics and the assassination of Empress Myeongseong. However, the new and controversial reforms pushed forward by the pro-Japanese progressives ignited further resentment and discontent. This led to the uprising of the Eulmi temporary armies aimed at avenging the assassination of Empress Myeongseong. In 1897, King Gojong, yielding to rising pressure from both overseas and the demands of the Independence Association-led public opinion, returned to Gyeongungung (modern-day Deoksugung). There, he proclaimed the founding of the Empire of Korea, officially redesignated the national title as such, and declared the new era name Gwangmu (meaning warrior of light), effectively severing Korea's superficial historic ties as a tributary of Qing Dynasty, which Korea had adhered to since the prior Manchurian invasion in 1636. King Gojong became the Gwangmu Emperor, the first imperial head of state and hereditary sovereign of the Empire of Korea. This marked the complete end of the old world order and traditional amicable dependency system in the Far East. Korea's new status as an empire meant "Complete independence from Qing's sphere of influence" which means Korea was not influenced by Qing externally according to the Treaty of Shimonoseki of 1895 and also implemented the "full and complete" independence according to the treaty. The name, meaning "Great Han Empire," was chosen to indicate the revival of the Samhan confederacies of the Proto--Three Kingdoms of Korea, in the tradition of naming new states after historic states. The significance of the declaration of an Empire, in the Korean understanding of the situation was to declare Koreas independence and equality with China and Japan. Historically, the usage of Emperor was reserved for the Chinese Emperor, the Son of Heaven.

A discovery of rare photographs taken in Korea during the late 19th and early 20th century has revealed never-before-seen images of key figures in Korea′s history.
Our Yim Yoonhee joins us today with more on this story.
Last year, a huge collection of pictures taken during Korea′s modern history were found by a Korean professor at Rutgers University in the state of New Jersey.
They were discovered in the William Elliot Griffis Collection and, of the 592 photographs found, hundreds had never been seen by the public before, including the ones you′re about to look at.
The fifth son of Korea′s Emperor Gwangmu, Prince Yi Kang, lived during a tumultuous time in Korean history, during the First Sino-Japanese War.
This recently discovered shot is one of the earliest pictures of the prince, taken in 1899 when he left to study abroad in the United States.
Another photograph is of Heungseon Daewongun , known to some Westerners as Prince Gung.
He served as regent of the Joseon Dynasty while King Gojong was a minor during the 1860s.
The picture on the right, believed to be of him in his 40s, shows a much younger version of him.
Seo Jae-pil, also known as Philip Jaisohn, was a leader in Korea′s fight for independence, even putting together the doomed Gapsin Coup to oust the Joseon-era leadership.
He was the first Korean to receive U.S. citizenship and this new picture on the left shows a young 23-year-old Seo, taken in 1887.
Another leader of the failed Gapsin Coup was Park Yeoung-ho. This rare image of the Korean politician at 25, before his involvement with the enlightenment movement of Korea.
And lastly, Kim Ok-gyun, a reformist during the late Joseon Dynasty.
The image on the left shows him at 35 years old, and though there are many black-and-white photos of him, this is the first known color photograph of Kim.
And while these pictures reveal a small piece of Korea′s history, musician Hwang Byung-ki holds on to history in his own way.
For decades, he′s been a master of the gayageum, one of Korea′s most popular traditional Korean instruments.
And now, a new book about Hwang, compiled by English scholar Andrew Killick over 25 years, has recently been published in Korean.
This is a book that was first written in English, and as you were telling me earlier, it was translated into Korean because of the importance of the content.
That′s right. Hwang Byung-ki is a very important composer and musician here in the country.
And this is the first book in English to cover an Asian composer who writes music for Asian instruments.
Now, for those of you who don′t know, the gayageum is a 12-stringed zither that′s plucked.
But the history of the instrument dates all the way back to the 6th century, where it was an important part of Korean culture, and now it′s still played by musicians of all ages, despite the growing trend towards Western instruments.
So Hwang is an important figure in Korea′s traditional music history.

So Hwang is an important figure in Korea′s traditional music history.

A set of photographs taken in Korea during the late 19th and early 20th century has been revealed in the U.S.
Some of them include never-before-seen images of key figures in Korea′s history.
Our Yim Yoon-hee has more.
The fifth son of Korea′s Emperor Gwangmu, Prince Yi Kang, lived during a tumultuous time in Korean history, during the First Sino-Japanese War.
This recently discovered shot is one of the earliest pictures of the prince, taken in 1899 when he left to study abroad in the United States.
Another photograph is of Heungseon Daewongun , known to some Westerners as Prince Gung.
He served as regent of the Joseon Dynasty while King Gojong was a minor during the 1860s.
The picture on the right, believed to be of him in his 40s, shows a much younger version of him.
Seo Jae-pil, also known as Philip Jaisohn, was a leader in Korea′s fight for independence, even putting together the doomed Gapsin Coup to oust the Joseon-era leadership.
He was the first Korean to receive U.S. citizenship and this new picture on the left shows a young 23-year-old Seo, taken in 1887.
Another leader of the failed Gapsin Coup was Park Yeoung-ho. This rare image of the Korean politician at 25, before his involvement with the enlightenment movement of Korea.
And lastly, Kim Ok-gyun, a reformist during the late Joseon Dynasty.
The image on the left shows him at 35 years old, and though there are many black-and-white photos of him, this is the first known color photograph of Kim.
And while these pictures reveal a small piece of Korea′s history, musician Hwang Byung-ki holds on to history in his own way.
For decades, he′s been a master of the gayageum, one of Korea′s most popular traditional Korean instruments.
And now, a new book about Hwang, compiled by English scholar Andrew Killick over 25 years, has recently been published in Korean.
