Ernest Bethel

Ernest Bethel was a British journalist working in Asia as a correspondent for the Daily News of London. He founded an early newspaper in Korea in 1904, the Daehan Maeil Sinbo (English title, The Korea Daily News), which was published in Korean and English. The publication was strongly antagonistic to the Japanese.

He reported on the Russo-Japanese War, but then stayed in Korea and reported on Japanese imperialism in Korea. In particular he noted the abuses by Japanese soldiers against Koreans. For his commentary he was imprisoned, where he died of tuberculosis. The monument that Koreans erected in for him was defaced by the Japanese, and another monument was erected near by the original one.
