Empire legation building in Washington D.C. regained after 102 years
Korean Empire, the first and only empire country in the history of Korea.
Korean Empire existed in the history of our nation for a short time from 12 October 1897 until 29 August 1910. At that time, it was the period of upheaval against the powers to represent itself as a modern independent nation in the world.
Gojong, the first emperor who informed Korean Empire proclaimed the secret policy for the independence and advancement of culture. In 1891, for the attempts of the independent diplomacy, Emperor bought $ 25,000 worth of abroad legation building.
The legation was the abroad diplomacy empire which could overcome the sorrow of the weak country in the crowd of powers.
However, after the forced merge in 1910, the building was emptied of ownership pass to Japan for only $ 5. Legation in Washington for the Empire of Korea which overlaid the despair and anguish of Emperor Gojong vanished from our memories.
Finally, in October 2012, the legation was brought back in the bosom of the nationals of the Republic of Korea. Stories about the legation which was not revealed around the world during the past century begins now!
A journey with Mis. Lee Hae-kyoung, the last princess of the Joseon Dynasty
Emperor Gojong's granddaughter, Mis. Lee Hae-kyoung, even she didn't know of the fierce movement and struggle for the independence that many independence activists worked for both inside and outside of the country including his father Prince Uichinwang.
In Arirang TV's 2013 new year's special edition, The Untold Story -'The Korean Empire', we will meet the reign of King Gojong, which had not been appreciated in the past, referred as 'lost history.', deprived of its liberation and Korea's tumultuous modern history in the Japanese colonial period.
We will discover the Korean Empire legation that comes up sorrow of the deprived country in Logan Circle on the 15th Street, Washington D.C. in which remains the breath of the past.
Very touching documentary about the forgotten past. I feel so proud to be Korean after watching this. My people have endured such unspeakable hostility from surrounding nations. Yet we have remained honorable and abstained from evil unlike the neighboring nations. Perhaps it is a refining fire before the true blessings. Today, Korea is so blessed with so much. God has redeemed our people in an amazing way.
handonald I am Vietnamese and I congratulate Koreans on their success. They're now one of the most respected peoples in Asia.
God Bless Korea!
GOD bless kdramas . LOL
China and Japan both lost it's right to the mandate of heaven 天命. Now it's Korea's turn.
Anyone can get to heaven, by believing in Jesus Christ.
I watch the K drama, Mr.Sunshine. Though it is fictional, the writer was able to incorporate some historical events. And i started to love the rich history of Korea. Look at Korea today, rich, proud, successful. Congratulations Korea! Looking forward to visit after this pandemic.
Thanks Arirang ! for sharing us lesson from the past , the lesson is precious . Indonesia also once was fought Japanese invasion . We learn as human with dignity of motherland won't be easily wipe out by forces . Again, huge thanks 🙏 I believe lots of young millennials who love History also have the exact deep feeling after watching the video
This makes me so proud to be half Korean half American. I have lived in both countries. I am so thankful for this documentary to give me information that is part of my existence. I owe my existence to these brave men and women who fought for Korean independence. The Korean people are the most resilient in this world. So much for korea has changed. The culture is dying due to western influence and superficial materialism due to crony capitalism today. I hope the future generations remember what their previous generations really had to go through for their comforts today... not too long ago. Same for Americans. Yes I am so proud of the Korean spirit. Dae Han Min Guk! PIGHTING! 💪🏼
Theodore Roosevelt is my favorite president...it breaks my heart to learn he had a hand in helping Japan do what they did to Korea. I understand a bit more of the world now. Thank you for this documentary!
Japan is the preferable ally of the U.S in Asia, not Korea. What did you expect? Korea is on the negotiation table between the 2 countries
@@dayandlight111 what do you mean by that? There’re both equally good allies and it’s true that president Roosevelt made a mistake by helping Japan. Why is stating that fact controversial?
Most of the presidents played with the life of the poor people and week nations.....they feed and they kill after
@@dayandlight111 lmao they're both strategic partners to the US Korea isn't some bargaining chip 😂😂😂
I just visited the legation building today. I felt I travelled back to Joseon's times. I was once again touched by Korea spirit going there.
This is such an interesting documentary for a foreigner like me who wanted to know more about foreign countries.
I was amazed by the historical movements and everything in the video. Thank you so much for sharing and please keep on sharing more related history films about Asia and other countries as well. Thank you so much.
such a rich and interesting history. It always amazes me how fast Korea modernized. When I'm watching Chosun era dramas and I see the years 19-- or something I just stare agape at the concept that while much of the western world had roads and electricity, Korea was still farming and using horses. And now, like a boom, they are a tech megamind! korea grew so so so fast - maybe too fast - but they seem to be doing a good job of keeping up with the growth....now if only they can reunite and be one nation again....
really sad how game of geopolitics between the two superpowers in the past split the two countries. hopefully the two can unite in an unforeseeable future, just like the Germans in the 1989 did.
@@saganaki_1 Don't forget about how we Mongols got split up into three, Southern Mongolia was stolen by the communist Chinese, Northern Mongolia was stolen by Soviet Russian Communists, and Western Mongolia was stolen by all three Soviet Russian & Kazakh and Chinese Communists :|
omg am in love with korean history like i love history generally its my favorite subject but korean history takes me to a diffrent world i wish joseon dynasty would still excist but nothing stays for a ever i hopefully will visit korea one day i even watched the last princess could'nt stop crying lol
You should watch the last empress ( im an army too )
Sa your saring that you want 조선 to be poor more because before Korea was very poor
Suga a member of the Royal Family, did you know that?
@@virgochick8884 No he isn't a member of the royal family himself but his surname, Min used to be a powerful clan (Yeoheung Min) during the Joseon Dynasty.
Try Chicago Typewriter and most especially Mr. Sunshine for Joseon dynasty historical K-dramas that cover this period. They get the history and culture (mostly) correctly.
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins!
I love the Korean culture and Koreans (so pretty)! Wish you all the best! May God bless you and our nations (mine is Brazil) come together.
The beautiful OST - Mr Sunshine - brought me here. Thank you so much for the wonderful addition to understanding Korea. Now - what about North and South? I must continue on my RUclips search &; > GOD BLESS JOSEON and all who suffer(ed) or die(d) to see their land obtain sovereignty and maturity!!!
The same. I came here after rewatching Mr. Sunshine
BEAUTIFUL, that's all I can say, BEAUTIFUL. Having a heritage is paramount in any society. I'm a black man and to see what SK has been through & how that zeal to preserve a legacy brought tears to my eyes. Glad for you South Korea, you all should be proud 🙏
my grandfather was in the first group of Korean men all from the North to immigrate to Hawaii in the early 1900s. My grandmother is one of the pictures brides from Pusan that came as Japanese citizens in 1917. They were involved with the Korean independence organizations and donated to the cause. Their sacrifices gave us a better life and freedom for Korea.
Sad, but beautiful story. I was so happy the Legation building was given back to Korea. God Bless Korea.
I am and always have been very proud to be Korean and of our culture. We are honorable , respectful, loyal.
@SuperYT4Ever There is good and evil in every society - just about every organization!!!
That is what I saw when I was a teacher there for one year - probably because I also am that, however, in life and in Korean historical genre I have realized that there is good and evil in every society - just about every organization!!!
nah koreans are full of racist
@SuperYT4Ever what so Japanese and those Chinese are better than us?
@@yishislassieswaiting4748 there is evil and good in any organization. Also in every people. But does that mean both criminal and innocent should be treated the same???
What a dope documentary. I didn't know this part of my history.
Are you korean??
@@tiny_heart4939 yea, my mother is Korean.
You black bro you ain't no Korean..
@@nermycrackiuswackius2222 wow it part of their history and I'm sure they explain its their mother
@@sakeena9364 being a half black Korean excludes you from being Korean apparently
Outstanding. I really enjoyed this
For the correction, 15:03 the woman picture is not the queen. Not a single picture of the queen is confirmed yet. The lady was believed as one of court ladies, not the queen.
Thank you so much Make Korean History Documentary
I feel sad how western influence changed Korea now despite the hard work of korean kings united the Korean peninsula and manage to hold it for hundreds of years and suddenly the nation split into two different nations despite having the same culture
Darren The John Nazarene Throughout Asian history it’s always the Westerner in middle of changing or conflicts.
Only the south was influenced by western countries, the north was influenced by Russia and its communism, if both North Korea and South Korea didn't reunite it is because both the Korean leader and the South Korean president wanted to reunite the peninsula under their own politics. Eastern history is so fascinating
North Korea is a totally different civilization, one ruled by a (not obsolete) dynasty. The Kim dynasty is in full swing with 25million apparently, Not (pun not intended) Koreans living under this dynasty.
@@morganetorriero9435 Communism started in Central Europe so it's still a western influence.
I wish the Grand Heritage documentaries were unlocked.... I watched them once before and it was so very interesting
Could we get a video that explains the different Joseon Korean political factions? I've heard of "northern faction, southern faction, etc" but I have no idea what their differences in politics was
Thank you for this video ^^ It's very helpful in understanding the political situations that took place in that era.
so dramatic!!!
excellent job!
At 21:45, the Emperor's handwriting was forged, but the great seal of state (the red square in the lower left) was also a forgery. The young empress (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empress_Sunjeong) took the seal, hid it in her skirts, then took it to her chambers and hid it there, probably in her socks drawer or some such place. So the Japanese had to forge the seal. The seal remained hidden and lost until it was returned to Korea during the 2000s. An American GI had "found" it with five similar seals in a leather bag in "a gutter near the palace" during the Korean War, and it was returned to Korea by US President Obama. My wife knew the empress in her later years, going to the palace for birthdays, and she remembers her as a strong-willed, intimidating although tiny woman. She died in 1966, the last ruling empress. A fierce woman.
Don't know why the monarchy wasn't restored.
@@altajjisamuya2495 General MacArthur usually gets the blame for that, but it was more likely Japan. However, there's another story about the empress facing down the North Korean army during the invasion of Seoul in June 1950. She and her family later retreated to Busan, on foot like everyone else. Syngman Rhee was very concerned because she was popular, and kept her under house arrest the entire time he was in office.
She managed to pass down her popularity...@@SDongil
I wish Princess would be back in Korea and be reinstated.
Japam had really destroy the Korean monarchy. I felt sorry for King Goo Jong who did everything to survive from the imperialist powers. Also, there's a lot of traitors who exchanged their country for money.
That was "Emperor Gojong".
The King of Joseon decide to modernize in order to keep them from becoming an imperial colony but he chose the wrong year 1883? That is just a few decades before the First World War broke out. They should have done this at around 1820 or 1830 that would have given them enough time to modernize.
1820? Bro, Japan modernized in 1870. A modernized Korea in 1820 would have turned Korea into a mini superpower - though I guarantee you that is impossible.
@@lolmeme69_ Sadly, very true. It's one of those wistful "coulda, woulda, shoulda" things.
UPDATE: According to CVMNEXT Construction, the Korean Legation building at 15 Logan Circle in Washington DC is undergoing extensive renovations which began early in 2016 (this year).The elegant, three-story brick structure was constructed in 1877, and in 1891 it was established as the only overseas diplomatic office of the Korean Empire. Through the Overseas Korean Cultural Foundation, CVMNEXT was selected as the general contractor for the restoration, which is being overseen by TimHaahs Architects. Once complete, the building will be opened to the public as the Korean Legation Museum.The residents of this wonderful house, who appeared in the above presentation, have apparently found another home.
God bless beautiful hearted South Korea 🇰🇷 🖖🌈 from 🇺🇸to🇰🇷👍🤙
I don't like they way they label Korea as "weak". The Koreans fought off Japan and China at the same time for centuries if not thousands of years. They shot themselves in the foot. When Japan sought western technology to aid their war efforts during the 15th through 18th centuries. They adopted western army formations, along with the knowledge of how to use guns and also the access to guns(and how they were made etc) it was too late for Korea. The Koreans were so much more physically stronger and sharper in the mind they defeated the Japanese army with bows and arrows, versus an army with guns. And lots of them too. Talk about embarrassing. No wonder they wanted to annex the strong blood/genes/DNA of The Koreans. Because they were far superior. The Japanese were only better at one thing. Asking for help first.
Flowa Eater US was playing foul
JHSCOM You naz1 calling Koreans racist? lol.. I've studied human history a bit but the most racist and piece of shits make up whatever history to make them look best. That would be Americans.
no name The powerful Japanese were beaten by smaller Korea too. US is no different.
+Flowa Eater dont forget han emprie and mongol empire too they fought them as well well not korea but gogyreo byeo silla and baekje
+Flowa Eater another delusioned korean, han dynasty colonized you for 200-400 years until han dynasty fall
Thank you. Good job: You could add more such as the assassination of Ito Hirobumi by Korean patriot, Ahn Joong Goon in Manchuria as part of the explanation of the famous March First uprising of Korean Independent Movement protesting Japan's illegal occupation of Korea as well as 17 year old young girl Yu Kwan Soon who was tortured and murdered by Japanese in Prison.
I came here after watching The Last Princess/Princess Deok Hye (2016 korean movie)
Very good movie.
Touching
Ya’ll can thank Heungseon Daewongun for rejecting western reform and open door opportunities for Joseon. If he accepted, Korea would’ve most likely been an international power like Japan. Korea Numba One!!!!
An epic Korean Empire. Even if we did go down from the flames of say, WW1, the end of Empire, at least we would have gone down fighting.
I tell you!!!
i still love korea... i wont get tired to go back and forth every year.
You are LUCKY, my dear, to be able to travel & visit Korea frequently. I doubt that I'll be able to visit Korea even once before I die.
A bit muddled but very enlightening. Thanks
The Korean ancestors in ancient times of the ice age survived by escaping from the cold living inside caves.
They constantly made a fire to avoid the cold and drive wild animals out and they happened to find the copper(CU, bronze).
The Korean term Copper means caves and bronze.
In addition, the tribe who had discovered the copper (called copper tribe) created letters originated by the characters like clessi, clethi, cle, glishi and so on..
Afterwards, they constructed a civilized country Go(古)joseon(chosen)based on the bronze era.
Eventually, King Sejong not only systemized the letters of Go chosen and but also restored and compiled a language that contained sound(Pronunciation sound, 發音) for the purpose of establishing the identity of chosen(joseon) Dynasty.
But this historical fact was distorted during the colonization by Japan.
In addition, many cultural assets and the history of Korea were incorporated into Japan.
Japan erased four characters such as
《ㆍ, ㆁ , ㆆ ,ㅿ》 among 28 letters.
The reason why Japan damaged Korean history is that everyone may be able to realize easily that the owner of the pyramid was the Copper tribe and that Joseon people are the descendants of them if we Koreans still have those four letters.
The first 《●》 means an initial life particle, the second 《ㆁ》 means the combination of yin and yang initial particles.
The third 《ㆆ》 means the combined life particles coming down to the horizontal lines.
The fourth 《ㅿ》 means the life particles are wrapped and protected.
And 《ㅿ》 is three meaning mountain, pyramid and womb.
《It is the nation that started rice farming for the first time in the world.》
In ancient times people around the world used Korean language. Hangul is a term distorted in the Japanese colonial era. The original term is "CLESSI". This is the roots of languages and characters around the world.

3. 아라비아 숫자는 고대시대 한국인이 창조
(Arabic numerals were created by ancient Koreans)
숫자 4는 방위표시 4와 같습니다. 十 열십자의 네개 방향을 의미하며
서쪽의 "ㅅ" 자와 화살촉 모양의 직 삼각형을 대입시켜 삼각형(삼)의 "ㅅ"을 서쪽의 "ㅅ"과 교차시켜
북쪽의 기준을 잡은 것입니다.
즉 방위 기호는 한국인이 만든것입니다.
아라비아 숫자는 고대 한국인이 창조
1은 천자문(고대 한국인이 창조)"一 "을 회절시킨것이며
2는 천자문 "二"이를 필기체로 흘겨 써서 "z"모양이 "2"으로 변화 한것이며
3은 천자문 "三" 또한 흘겨(흘려) 써서 지금에 "3"이 된 것이며
4는 천자문 "三"자 아래 "一"자가 하나 추가 되어 있었으나 혼선으로 인해
사방을 의미하는 발음에 "사" 발음을 취해 네 방향의 의미를 담은것이며
5는 다섯을 의미하는 숫자로 음양 오행의 오행 "나무" " 불" " 흙 " "쇠 " "물" 다섯의 의미를 담아 오행의 소리문자 "오"를
거꾸로 뒤집어 5자를 만든것으로 지평선 수평선 " ㅡ " 아래로 "ㅣ (ㅜ) " " ㅇ(령,영)" 이 맺어짐을 표현한것으로
산스크리트 즉 이두문자 계열의 제자원리를 본뜬 숫자입니다.

옛 사람이 만든 소리문자 "유" 입니다.

8은 여덟 八팔은 의미적으로 팔 과 발은 고대 같은 발음이며 본체에서 갈라져 쪼개져 나와짐을 의미하며
신체의 팔만 그린게 천자문 八이며 팔을 부각시켜 그린 이유는 팔(손가락) 발가락이 10개가 쪼개져 갈라져 나왔으
나 그 줄기 위에 이미 두팔이 쪼개져 나왔기에 10에서 2를 빼어 팔이라는 의미를 만들었기에
신체의 八을 부각시켜 그린것입니다. 팔은 윤회 사상을 표현한것으로 태어나 다시 되돌아감 즉 팔(하늘에서 내짐)
과 발(흙으로 내짐)을 그린것입니다. (영이 배에서 나와 짐을 그린것)
9는 아흡은 마치 아흙과 같은것이며 태어 날때 머리부터 나온 의미를 되돌아가는 의미로 반대 의미로 그린것입니다.
10은 十 열십은 열어지고 여느지고 시가부어지는 위의 숫자 모두를 표현한것입니다. 즉 태어나는게 일의 시작이고 다시
령(영)되는것입니다.
0은 영,령으로 아직 시작되지 않은 상태를 의미합니다.
즉
아라비아 숫자 아 나 봐(알 아 비아) 아새끼가 태어남을 의미화 시킨게 숫자입니다.
this explains really well about how the hatred for Japan developed so much and so fast in Korea, heck Koreans even classify their independence day as "kick Japan out of Korea day". Not only that but how Korea became one of the top 5 countries that love america being #4 on the list
+jordan jensen If Koreans did not support the USA in the previous genreation they were picked up and tortured. true story...
I gotta say, Russia was a much bigger help, North Korea was much richer than South Korea for decades after the korean war because the USA didn't care enough to help. but the Kim family of the north messed everything up because although the first Kim was a good leader due to his time in the resistance movements, his children grew up spoiled and unknowing of the real world leading to poor choices... even though Russia gave plenty of food and aid.
the good thing is that the USA didn't destroy the clans in korea, and thus many of these clans formed large organizations that bloomed into conglomorates like samsung and hyundai etc. which gave rise to the economy on their own.
modern day koreans who know history well have mixed feelings, south korea has culture that wasn't wiped out by communism, but in exchange our parents had to go through famine and death. the north kind of sucks now, but it wasn't Russia's fault that it sucks, so although the USA treated koreans less well than the USSR, the south still strived, which is a blessing through our own hard work.
+Andrew Lee wow thanks for that explanation
it’s not only Korea that was invaded by Japan even Philipinnes. how sad history is too many lives were taken.
@SuperYT4Ever Small price to pay for salvation
@@euwandelatorre467 we were annexed for more than 35 years but okee.
There were lots of reasons for koreas collapse in 1907. Many countries came in and basically fought over who had the rights to control it but the main reason is koreas own corruption. Lots of politicians basically sold the country out.
T
he Tragedy of Korea, 1908 (book that accounts for the events that led to the destruction of the Korean Empire and the posterior Japanese rule on Korea)
Followed by Korea's Fight For Freedom, 1919 (about Korea's resistance against the Japanese rule)
both by Fred Arthur McKenzie - Great books to read about Korea during this time. you can obtain free PDF copy from google.books
Is there a korean translated version for this documentary?
I am interested in the references and sources. I would like to read more about the annexation treaty. These informations would be very helpful for my term paper. Does anybody know how I can find something about their bibliographical sources?
In history, the faction of Korea were struggling to gain control. They were so greatly divided that even relatives will betray their kings to have the throne. It's the Korean itself be blamed.
It makes me proud of America having helped South Korea to gain and maintain their precious freedom since WWII and the Korean conflict. As always America stands for freedom and democracy and willing to help the world.
I still would like to know if someone is making, or has made, a motion picture about the Last Princess of the Joseon Dynasty, the retired New York librarian interevied above. This video is over 2 1/2 years old; is she still living?
MarcellusTheGreen i dont think shes still living
WOW WHAT A GREAT HISTORY ABOUT KOREA VERY INFORMATIVE
i like the Story of this of this interesting history of the korean empire
Is there an update?
Being almost 50 and of mixed korean/Scottish decent. I was very sad growing up that there were very few people like myself. Nowadays it is very common to find mixed koreans but not in my generation. At the time koreans were still very against the idea of mixing bloodlines and my family and myself ran into harsher criticism and hostility from koreans than we did from americans and caucasians. I can still remember how sad my grandmother and great grandmother would get when speaking about the destruction of the royal family from outside influences. Even though royalty nowadays is more of a figurehead to generations nowadays. A short time ago and to earlier generations it was a sense of great national pride and was the physical embodiment of a national identity as well as a source of pride. Like most civilizations, koreans made mistakes in the past such as slavery and a rigid caste system. It is still tragic that something as valuable as a royal heritage was snuffed out by the tyranny of the japanese occupation.
Wow. Japan would have erased our history, culture, language. We lost our country and took it back. Proud to be Korean.
Lately I am so interested in the history and the royal family of Korea...
As I did some research I knew that the last empress was murdered by Japanese in the 18s ..
Where is the rest of the family ... Of the royals .. ?? .
Are they living as civilians now . Like the normals .. is the family United . ???
I have so many questions.. can someone please answer..
Yes most still live in korea a few live in the us also I'm related to one of the royals of sill/korea :)))
@@vutboctosquad2003 can you give some information about it...
About the royal families and how they were . It would be a lot of help
@@Aanaa7767 ok
So basically if you're talkin about the Korean Royals like the Lee family basically they were deposed and were married off to a bunch of Japanese so the Japanese could show the people of Korea that oh your kings and princesses and princes aren't Royal they're just Traitors and just forget about them and that's exactly what Japan wanted people forgot about them and when Princess Deokhye married a Japanese man the people we're very angry at Japan and once they got the newspaper about it they started erasing the man's face from the image and his entire body

not much on the internet about princess Lee Hae Kyung .. When I type Korea's last princess , only Princess Deokhye shows up and she is famous .. but what about Lee Hae Kyung ? Korea is a nation full of sad and beautiful history . But this documentary is misleading in some parts . still very interesting
미나2018 maybe she not given tittle princess yet, so deokhyo last princess we know, the women still live in this video is not princess.
Oml this is so cool ❤️
why can't I find any record of her on the internet? except on youtube
The music at 42:25 sounded much like one of those in Scarlet Heart
Great
아... 너무나도 뭉클 하네요. 너무 자랑스럽고 너무 감동입니다. 이걸 영화로 만들면 너무 좋을 것 같아요!! 영화로 만들어 줘요~~
I was searching on the internet where's the korea royal family now:(
mostly? dead or immigrated. There weren't that many to begin with, and any of the mildly decent ones were killed off.
@Natanael Kohler 聖母マリア that's why I said they're mostly, not all, dead or immigrated. Or so far from the actual main royal line that it's not much of a big deal.
This is amazing 🇰🇷
i thought PRINCESS DEOK HYE WAS THE LAST PRINCESS OF KOREA
Princess Deokhye was the last Princess of the _Korean Empire._ Lee Haikyung is her niece, daughter of Yi Kang (Prince Ui).
I am saddened on how the Korean Empire ended. I have a question though: Were the “current residents” the then current owners? Did they purchase it from the U.S. government? Did they sell it ti the Korean government?
Why there's two current residence in that building? Doesn't it goes back to Korea already?
It’s very sad that the Korean government neglected the Royal Family. Royal Family is also a symbol of culture and long line of history. They should have at least give the proper honor they deserve. For example of what happened with Princess Dok Hye . All the Royal Family was banned to go back to Korea by the President of the Korea before.
It was inevitable since the royal family was seen as collaborators with the Japanese as the Korean crown prince married into the Japanese royal family. If the royal family were allowed to return to South Korea, a socialist revolution breaking out could have become a reality.
Everything would have been better if it was goguryeo that reunited all of korea instead of shilla. Korea today would be much more independent from Usa, much bigger territory and a stronger economy.
Can the Empire arise anew?
The position of Korea makes it unable to be an actual Empire.
This video completely ignores the fate of the provisional government based in Shanghai, and how the Russians let them take over after months of Japanese surrender, while the United States abolished the provisional government and set up their own military government.
That government would Not have been democratic, any more that the puppet governments of Eastern Europe were. I am positive you know this, even though you do not say it. BTW, it wasn't the Russian SSR that made tht move, it was the USSR. Revisionist history is garbage.
There s still a loads of untold stories to make things clear in the history of that nice country...
Read the book " The Imperial Cruise: A Secret History of Empire and War" by US author James Bradley (2009).
We will never forget what you did!!!
We had the same problems and dilemma as Japan. We were just a bit too late.
Oh .. north Americans (USA) always messing around....how sad the human being behaviour, always with double intentions inspired by ambition of endless power and the seeking of it.
Thank God Korea still exist. Blessings
I wonder where her family is. Based on the video it seems like she is a solitary widow or something.
20:00 Fighting for their homeland's independence gave the Koreans living in America meaning.
They should hold ceremonial position.
i thought it was princess deokhye who was captive in japan . i just watched a movie titled the last princess of korea. can someone explain this to me
Princess Deokhye was the last Princess of the _Korean Empire_ (which was at that time colonised by Japan). Lee Haikyung is her niece, daughter of Yi Kang (Prince Ui).
"Colonized"!?
01001110 01100001 01101101 01100101 depends if you incorrectly say zee or correctly say zed 😉.
My only question is, if that building is Korean now. why are those people still living there?
The owners and long-time residents did not want to give up their nice home in Washington; as a former resident of that area (I worked in DC for a few years in the 1970s) I know how hard it is to find a nice home there, and that it is very very expensive. The residents of the former Legation building later decided to transfer the building back to Korea. I'm not sure when the transfer took place or what arrangements were made for the residents. It would indeed be fine if Arirang TV made a follow-up to this presentation.
The part I find incredible is that the Imperial Japanese bought it for five dollars and sold it to an American for ten dollars. That house is probably worth the greater part of a million dollars today.
+MarcellusTheGreen thanks for the info. it's a beautiful building, we would need to see how much that would be in today's money after inflation.
Nery Fuentes I tried looking up on some of those real-estate sites but found nothing. I got a satellite view of it; it's not far from where I used to work back in the 1970s
UPDATE: According to CVMNEXT Construction, the Korean Legation building at 15 Logan Circle in Washington DC is undergoing extensive renovations which began early in 2016 (this year).The elegant, three-story brick structure was constructed in 1877, and in 1891 it was established as the only overseas diplomatic office of the Korean Empire. Through the Overseas Korean Cultural Foundation, CVMNEXT was selected as the general contractor for the restoration, which is being overseen by TimHaahs Architects. Once complete, the building will be opened to the public as the Korean Legation Museum.The residents of this wonderful house, who appeared in the above presentation, have apparently found another home.
Royalty is royalty ..............
As a Korean, I am so disappointed that they photoshopped a famous political cartoon from the 1800s to say "Corea" instead of the original text of "China" at 13:49 . How embarrassing. It brings the rest of the documentary's legitimacy into question. Seriously, why would you forge such a historical image to say Corea instead of China? We have such a rich history, we didn't need to stoop to such despicable levels.
Nami Ahn If you really want to learn history, you will end feeling bad for the way many of your people hate Japan without real and proper reason. I pity your kids. Thanks that not all Koreans are brainwashed.
@@SLeeSG The fact is Japanese soldiers are brutal, no one can deny it. I am Indonesian, and they gave us a nightmare since they rape and murder our young woman when they came in 1942. They act like they are the most polite society in the world, but nah! They are apologized, but they're never truly sorry.
@@SLeeSG It's not entirely unfounded. Not that I agree with many of the opinions, but at the same time people don't exactly hate Japan, though they might distrust them. And well, it's mostly the older generation- who had parents and friends and siblings killed or harmed during the Japanese occupation- who have a strong dislike.
@Someone Knows It is a fact that Japanese soldier brutality was known to worldwide. Especially over asian countries, I have my grandmother who is still alive till now, she experienced Japan brutality era in our country which that time she was in her child age. If you really know how much she distrust over Japanese and her resentment toward them were real.her memories and story she never forget. You will stop your stupidiest comment.
@@SLeeSG you don’t know what you are speaking about. Please keep your thought shut into your mind. Do not release your foul and embarrassing display of ignorance into the public. The majority of koreans don’t hate the japanese. They hate japanese imperialist sympathizers.
Long Live Korea ❤ Sanjay Lee ❤
"chosen" is the old country name of 🇰🇷 Korea. pin.it/4StxErv
The etymology of "CHOSEN" means a child of the sky, brought to Earth by a bird when a new moon (mother) gives birth to the light (child) of the sun (father).
Korean Hanbok is a traditional costume worn by the child(khan,han,🤴)of the sky when they perform rituals to the sun and the moon.
Please Note^^
Shangdynasty = dangun chosen
商朝 天干 = 朝鮮 檀君
History was distorted and divided, and when under colonial rule in the 1800s, they learned colonial history.
Currently, Koreans have fled (moved) the dynasty to the Korean peninsula where the Russian embassy was located in the 1800s with Emperor Gojong. Korean means continental nobility.
Modern Joseon(chosen ) and Ming(明) Dynasty are the same thing.
Cheonjamun was created by the ancient Korean "CHOSEN". 🇰🇷 The old Korean name is "CHOSEN". Characters like "bowl" containing the original ancient language are called sonic characters. Over time, multiple meanings began to be added to a single word. As a result, communication problems arose. So, we studied to solve this problem. As a result, separate meanings were made to create characters. As a result, a cheonjamun with meaning was created. King Sejong of Korea did not create text. It distorts the history of hangul in Korea. Also, the original name, not "hangul", is "cle ssi or cle thi or glish". Its history goes well beyond at least 5,000 years. “GLISH” in English is rooted in Korean characters. In addition, Korean language is the root of the world's languages, including Sanskrit and English in India.

Currently, Korean history is being distorted by colonial history and being educated.

Emperor Gojong moved away from the continent and before the establishment of the Taiwanese government, Emperor Gojong flees to the Korean Peninsula where the Russian Embassy is located
This means that the dynasty moved to the Korean Peninsula.
At that time, Vladivostok was called Liaodong Peninsula or Giza, meaning the same.
This is the Korean peninsula now.
Japan wins the Russo-Japanese War and is occupied by the Japanese army. This is the current Korean Peninsula.
Joseon is the continent itself, and it is now the People's Liberation Army that the Korean peasant forces abandoned the scholar and joined the European forces to become rebels.
Because of these forces, the dynasty moved
That is why I came to the Korean Peninsula.
The Koreans are the scholar who defended the emperor, and they are called the descendants of the celestial son, and they are called CHOSEN = Josen.
They say that the bird came down with the seeds of the sun
The origin of hanbok is that when a rite is held in commemoration of that day, a rite in the form of a bird is worn.

Wait, THE ROYAL FAMILY IS STILL ALIVE??????
Marry! Adopt someone! BRING IT BACK.
Dominique Hipolito the age of empire has come to has come to end
Vector VII Don't worry, I don't mean the Korean Empire. I just mean the royal family, just like the Japanese royal family. Because Korea is big on cultural pride, it would give them great pride. Also, recognizing the cultural importance of the royal family of the Joseon dynasty would cement S. Korea as the legitimate successor of the original empire.
I agree, even thought korea are now republic, the royal blood should stay alive, its probably another way to united korean one day
Well, the first Korean King was born 500 years ago, so it's only reasonable that there are lots of people or royal blood in Korea today. You know that almost every single European can become King/Queen of Britain because the linage started so long ago?
If u google king yi seok(41s), he has 2 daughters (one is born in 79s) and 1 daughter born in 74s and her daughter has a daughter (01s)
❤❤👍👍
Philippines was mentioned too. 😔
our country has a bad history shame on us.. Philippines no royal family . and always slave of the other country
We had Sultans and Datus and they were all considered royalties until the Spaniards came.
@Matthew Tenorio_3200654 oh my God i love you!!! Finally such thing said by a filipino. This is exactly correct
Filipinos were born weak. That's what Americans said.
9:49 "Only to become a PaRkInG lOt" 😑😐🙂😅😂
Son is now King of Korea
We remember. What they did to Princess Deok Hye was also awful.
Viva!!! Free Corea!!!
i thought lee deokhye was the last princess
This entire documentary has absolutely nothing to do with North Korea, those guys should change their name and adopt a new Ethnicity/identity and history leaving only south Koreans as real Koreans .
"GUESS " !!!
42:18 Definitely Korean are proud. In fact too proud to the extend of being arrogant and cold towards others.
It is such a shame that Arirang uses the concept of "empire" without any scrutiny.
The official name of Korea at that time was 大韓帝國 (Hangul : 대한제국, Romaja : Daehan jeguk), which could only be translated as "Empire of Korea" or "Korean Empire"
at 2:42, it is wrong Chosen never had those type of ships lol what a lie in drawing
Protecc, shes cuteeee

Except for King Sejong the Great, most of Joseon's Kings were just selfish, incompetent, useless, and narrow-minded SOBs that enslaved their own people and eventually sold the country to Japan. Royal Lee Family dragged this country back to stone age and failed to protect the Korean people. King Gojong and King Sunjong were just self-compassionate caffeine-addicts. 'Korean Empire' what a joke. There's no empire in human history which enslaved its own people. While this royal family was enjoying their life as Japanese aristocrats, sons and daughters of Korea were exploited as front-line soldiers and sex slaves by Japan. The royals may have kept their personal dignity, but they lost their dignity and rights as the leaders of this country. Joseon dynasty (including so-called the empire) was the dark age of Korean history, and today's glory has nothing to do with the royal family. Modern (South) Korea is solely built by its people where everyone is equal. As a Korean, I will do whatever to protect our democratic republic and fight against any attempt to bring monarchy back in this soil.
I'm in general agreement with your post, except with this one sentence: "There's no empire in human history which enslaved its own people." Almost all of them did. The Greeks, Romans, Persians, the Chinese....One could argue that, for example, Rome didn't enslave born citizens of Rome (the city), but that was only generally true, with lots of exceptions for debtors and criminals, etc. I've read histories that state the second century Roman Empire's population was well over 50% slaves. And that is one real good reason Rome fell, with it's multi-million population, to invading Germanic tribes whose numbers were in the hundred thousands, being generous. The populace had no reason to fight for Rome, and the privileged aristocracy wouldn't. Mercenaries weren't up to the job.
ㅠ
Empire is not the correct word to use in Korea's history. Korea had failed to modernize at a critical time in world industrial development. Korean traditionalists wanted to reinforce their powers in the traditional yangban system to retain their control over the peasantry. The documentary explains how Taft and the US saw Japanese occupation as a positive movement to modernize Korea. And even the queen was killed and the royal family had to seek refuge with the Russians during this period. What kind of empire doesn't have a military to protect itself in any significant way to mobilize it's ethnic and cultural dominance? Korea never attempted to do that it seems from this documentary except only in modern times.
Because all neighbouring countries of Korea, China, Japan, Russia were all empire, Gojong found it necessary to proclaim an Emperor to tell the world that Korea was really independent and not dependent on any of its neighbouring empire. Of course the Western world at that time also looked down on this "self-claiming" empire, but at least, Western newspaper still called Gojong an Emperor.
That is similar to how Vietnamese ruler claimed to be an Emperor since late 10th century, to proclaim independence and equality with the Chinese empire.
