Matters were complicating back in the East. On Jan. 21, 1919, former Emperor Gojong died suddenly, sparking mass rumors of Japanese poisoning the king to prevent his re-installation. China-based activists did have a plan to bring Gojong to Beijing then have him travel to the Paris Peace Conference

it was actually a move to strengthen Joseon's sovereignty when it was being encroached on by Japan, China, and Russia. A few years after Gojong declared himself emperor, Japan overthrew the government and put an end to Joseon. 2/3 #kdrama #PerfectCrown

Seoul (known as Gyeongseong, then Keijo under Japanese rule) has a fascinating rail history not discussed enough imo. It used have a very dense tram network, and its origins are fascinating. The first tram line route would later serve as the first subway tunnel route for Seoul Metro Line 1.

“Wait! I’m supposed to take the civil service exam in a separate room, and get 1.5x time and movement breaks. King Gojong himself approved my accommodations. “

It was Emperor Gojong, the last imperial ruler of Korea and great grandpa has his own entry in their version of Wikipedia for the many ways he betrayed Korea, including maybe helping to murder Gojong (hasn't been proven). Plus her family is rich thanks to grandpa cozying up to the Japanese.

Is fur trim armor mostly a Korean Mongolian thing? I haven't found historic "viking" artifacts or art with it with it.
Yuan dynasty art doesn't have fur trim armor, Austria's emperor was gifted Joseon fur trim armor in 19c, perhaps western artists saw and applied it to legendary Mongols of yore.
