Biography
중근 안 is Notable.
An Jung-geun was born in Haeju, Hwangbae Province on 2 September 1879, the first son and eldest child of An Taehun and Jo Maria. He was married to Kim Aryeo in 1894. Upon entering the Catholic Church around 1895, he received the baptismal name of Tomaseu (Thomas). With Aryeo, Jung-geun had three children: a daughter named Hyeonsaeng and two sons named Munsaeng and Junsaeng.
On October 26, 1909, Jung-geun assassinated Itō Hirobumi, the President of the Privy Council of Japan, shooting him three times. As a result of the assassination, he was arrested by Russian authorities who handed him over to the Japanese. After six trials, he was sentenced to death, and was hanged at Ryojun in Kwantung on 26 March 1910.
