영문 초록

Korean Minister to Japan had the more huge than ever tasks in the time of the Kabo Reform Movement. At that time, there happened the Sino-Japanese War, the uprisings of the Tonghak Peasant Army, the Russian-led Triple Intervention, and the assassination of Queen Min. With this in mind, this article is devoted to the new understanding of the character of the Kabo Reform and its meaning by analyzing things concerned with the dispatch of Korean Ministers to Japan and their diplomatic activities. At the same time, it is hoped to offer a clue to overview the relationship between Korea and Japan in the period of Enlightenment. During all the time of the Reform except three months, the office of Korean Minster to Japan was carried on by deputy ministers. Yi Wan-yong, Song Ki-un, Yi Joon-yong were appointed to the Minister right after the inception of the Reform, but they did not proceed to their offices. In May, 1895, Ko Young-hee, who knew well of Japanese domestic situation, inaugurated him to the office, but he also came back to Korea as soon as Queen Min was assassinated. His replacement, Kim Ka-jin was deposed from the office even before he went to his office. The Korean Legation to Japan was managed by chancellor(chamseokwon) and clerk(seogisaeng). Among them, chancellor Kim Sa-soon and Yi Tae-jik were appointed to their offices although without a career required to the office, and served as officials to the local authorities after their coming back to Korea. Conversely, Han Young-won and Yu Chan, equipped with good linguistic abilities, was appointed to the offices of translator and clerk and promoted to chancellor. After coming back to Korea, they applied their experiences, directly or indirectly, to the diplomatic affairs with Japanese authorities. Korean Ministers to Japan received Korean students officially sent to Japan and supported them in many respects. The Ministers took care of the students and their student lives, including their admission, and even determined their student affairs in consult with the students. The Ministers bought machines, raw materials, books and others necessary for the managements of modern facilities, and organized the opportunities for Koreans to study and observe modern institutions. Likewise, the Ministers accommodated official Korean missions and Korean Ministers to the USA on way to their offices, and transferred official expenses to the Korean Legation to America. At the same time, the Ministers gathered informations concerned with Korea by means of various media such as newspaper, and reported them to the Korean government. Yet during the time of the Kabo Reform Movement, Korean Minister to Japan did not systematically collect comprehensive informations concerning Japanese domestic situation. Neither did they fully negotiate with Japanese government over the questions pending between two states. This was due to the following situations. There was just one Minister who actually did his office in Japan, and that for three months. At the same time, the Legation was not fully equipped with staffs necessary for its office. More noteworthy is that the relation between Korea and Japan was determined unilaterally by Japanese policies toward Korea, not on the mutual basis.
