AB - Kim, Kyusik was second son of Kim, Yongwon who was the aide to King Kojong and secret emissary to Russia. Kim, Kyusik was dispatched to the United States as a interpreter and private secretary to Prince Euiwha, the second son of King Kojong. As his father’s contact with modern world, Kim Kyusik contacted the modern western society through the traditional connection with King Kojong. Kim, Kyusik served as an secretary of Korean legation in Washington D.C. during his study at Roanoke College, VA., and was one of the secret emissaries of King Kojong to the Portsmouth Peace Conference in 1905. Kim, Kyusik was known as Korean representative to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 but his diplomatic career was originated from the traditional Chosun Kingdom’s legacy and relation with King Kojong.
Prince Euiwha, real name Yi, Kang was born as second son of King Kojong but his mother was past away after suffering Queen Min’s persecution and had no relatives to rely on. After Queen Min was killed by Japanese in 1895, Prince Euiwha was ousted to Japan until 1906. Prince Euiwha was the only one crown prince who was accustomed to the western world through his 11 years of de-facto exile in Japan and U.S. He studied at Roanoke College and Ohio Wesleyan University 1900-1904. But he was inevitably involved in the political turmoil of courts and conspiracy over the throne, King Kojong and Royal Concubine Umbi opposed the return of him to Korea. Also Prince Euiwha was not able to have a long-term perspective on his future. He did not devoted himself into studying abroad. When the protectorate agreement of 1905 was enforced to the Great Han Empire by Japan, he was managed to return to Korea with the help of Japan, After the annexation of Korea to Japan was established in 1910, Prince Euiwha became the key figure to propel the independence movement within the royal family members.
