민영환 (1861-1905)
고종의 어머니 여흥부대부인의 남동생 민겸호의 아들이자 민겸호의 형 민태호의 양자이다. 따라서 고종은 그에게 고종사촌형이 된다. 대한제국 성립 후 육군부장(현재의 중장에 상당)의 지위에 올랐으나 본래는 과거에 급제해 관료가 된 문신이었다. 1905년 을사조약 체결 직후 자결함으로써 순국한 애국지사이다.

Min Younghwan (1861-1905)
Min Yeong-hwan was a minister of the Korean Empire and known as a conservative proponent for reform. He was born in Seoul into the powerful Yeoheung Min clan and committed suicide as an act of resistance against the Eulsa Treaty imposed by Japan on Korea. He was an adoptive nephew of Empress Myeongseong. He is remembered today for his efforts on behalf of Korean independence in the waning days of the Joseon dynasty and a statue to his memory now stands near the gates of Seoul's Changdeok Palace.
