#Myeongseong
Yoongi's always known that their family is a little different.

They had a normal house on Phobion V, he went to a normal public school as a child, and he remembers a normal existence - his mother, Myeongseong, cooked dinners while singing softly and his father read stories to Yoongi at night.

Japan also frequently intervened on Korea’s attempts to break away from the encroaching Japanese imperialism, at one time brazenly assassinating 명성황후, Empress Myeongseong, for her efforts to work with the Russians in order to weaken Japan’s influence over the country.

Point taken. Also, unrelated tangent, but you just reminded me that Empress Myeongseong didn't even have a given name.

Lillian’s Horton Underwood: earned her medical degree in 1887, arrived in Korea as a medical missionary in 1888 as head of the women department at a new hospital, became the personal doctor to Queen Myeongseong, authored two books on Korea and helped establish Yonsei Univ. and Severance Hospital.

I still don't know whether my rating for Hello Baby is accurate. :))
It's a 4/5 read until the baby is stolen from Myeongseong Maternity Hospital, but from that point onward it becomes a 5/5. You know right away who took the newborn, but even so, the story is filled with tension and sadness.
