Ernest Thomas Bethel (Nov 3, 1872 - May 1, 1909), who is also known in his Korean name Bae Seol(배설, 裵說), was a British journalist working in Asia as a correspondent for the Daily Mail. He founded an early newspaper in Korea with Yang Gi-tak in 1904 called Daehan Maeil Sinbo (대한매일신보, 大韓每日申報, The Korea Daily News) which was published in both Korean and English. The publication was strongly antagonistic to the Japanese.[1]
As a correspondent for Daily Mail, he originally came to Korea in 1904 to report on the Russo-Japanese War, but then stayed in Korea and reported on Japanese imperialism in Korea. Bethel soon noted the abuses by Japanese soldiers applied to Koreans, and how Koreans were treated unfair and inferior. In 1904, he launched Daehan Maeil Sinbo with Yang Gi-tak, a Korean independence activist. The paper was available in three versions - English, Korean, and Korean mixed script. Because the paper was undert the protection of extraterritoriality, many people who opposed Japanese, such as Park Eun-sik and Sin Chae-ho, also wrote articles and columns on the paper.
In 1907, however, he was sued to Shanghai high court by Japanese Residency-General, who sued him through their diplomatic relationship to United Kingdom, and was sentenced by British judge F.S.A Bourne with three weeks of imprisonment. He was later set free, and came back to Seoul to continue his business. He died of cardiac enlargement in May 5th, 1909. The monument that Koreans erected in for him was defaced by the Japanese,. Another monument was erected near by the original one in 1964 by journalists living in Korea[2]. Both can be seen at his grave at Yanghwajin Foreigners' Cemetery.
