How do you assassinate someone when you don't know what they look like?
The K-Pop Demon Hunter of her time, Korea's first empress, Queen Min, was a total bad ass. But there weren't any reliable images of her, so no one beyond her immediate court knew what she looked like.
Which turned out to be a problem when samurai assassins, part of a rabble-rousing mob, stormed her palace early one morning with one thing on their mind: assassination.
A progressive woman, who outmanoeuvred every man in her court, Queen Min was killed by those in power for being ahead of her time — and trying to drag her country, the so-called Hermit Kingdom, out of the past with her.
