notable slanty eye: jang in hwan
Jang In Hwan was one of the first Koreans to enter Hawaii at the turn of the 20th century and became involved with the Korean Independence Movement. You see, in 1904, there was this asswipe named Durham Stevens, a former US diplomat and Japanese agent who was hand picked by Japan as an adviser to the Korean government. Being a Japanophile since the late 19th century, he was a strong proponent of the annexation of Korea to Japan. By the time that occurred in 1910, Stevens was dead for two years because in 1908, two Korean expatriates who were living in San Francisco, popped a cap in Stevens upon his arrival to the fair city. While it was found that Jeong Myeon Un and Jang In Hwan acted independently of each other, both fired at him. Jeon missed, but Jang did not. Jang was sentenced to 25 years and served ten. Upon his release, he was repatriated to Korea but came back to the US. In 1930, he committed suicide and is buried in San Francisco. Jang has been posthumously awarded by the Korean government.
