甲申政变
The "Enlightenment Party" orchestrated the Gapsin Coup after the Sino–French War with the promise of advice and support of (hangul: 다케조에 신이치로, hanja: 竹添進一郎), the Japanese minister to Korea. Ultimately, the coup d'état was crushed by the Qing army, so Enlightenment Party members such as Kim Ok-gyun, Bak Yeonghyo, Seo Jae-pil, amongst others sought asylum in Japan.
