At that time, diplomatic and personal records mainly focused on Dae-Won-Gun and Lee Jun-Yong, who were behind the assassination of Kim Hak-Woo in 1894. Most of the records of people who served as bureaucrats after the Gabo Reform(Kim Hong-Jib Cabinet) and diplomatic records of foreign missions in Korea were initially recorded as being the planners of Lee Jun-Yong and the masterminds of Dae-Won-Gun. However, as time passed, both the planners and the masterminds behind the Kim Hak-Woo assassination were identified as Dae-Won-Gun. In the end, Dae-Won-Gun planned the assassination of Deputy Minister of Justice Kim Hak-Woo in order to cover up Lee Jun-Yong's rebellion. In the course of a special court trial in April 1895, Minister of Justice Seo Gwang-Beom attempted to remove Lee Jun-Yong with extreme punishment. The Japanese minister in Seoul Inoue suspected the Ministry of Interior Park Young-Hyo and Queen Min. This means that Queen Min intervened behind her and instigated Lee Jun-Yong to be punished with extreme punishment. There is something peculiar about the judgment of the special court in April 1895. The first is the fact that no relationship can be found between Lee Jun-Yong and Dae-Won-Gun. The special court substantiated the charges against Lee Jun-Yong, but made no mention of any connection with Dae-Won-Gun. Second, Lee Jun-Yong did not intend to assassinate Queen Min. In the end, the special court deliberately concealed Lee Jun-Yong's assassination of Queen Min and Dae-Won-Gun's indirect intervention. Before and after the Gabo Reform, Dae-Won-Gun chose Lee Jun-Yong as the successor of King Gojong and tried to make his grandson the heir to the throne. The cases that prove this were the assassination of Kim Hak-Woo and the rebellion of Lee Jun-Yong. In this situation, King Gojong judged that Lee Jun-Yong was a threat to his throne and continued to check it. After that, Dae-Won-Gun planned Lee Jun-Yong's trip to Japan under the pretext of studying abroad. As a result, Lee Jun-Yong left Seoul on December 25, 1895 and fled to Japan.
