The Kanjō shinpō (漢城新報; Korean: 한성신보; lit. Hanseong News) was a Japanese- and Korean-language newspaper published in Seoul, Joseon (later Korean Empire). It was founded in either late 1894 or February 1895, and ran until it was acquired by the Japanese Resident-General of Korea in 1906. It was then merged with another newspaper, Daitō shinpō, and became the Keijō Nippō.
In 1895, its employees were all involved in the assassination of the Korean queen.
Around 6 a.m. on 8 October 1895, Queen Min, the consort of the Korean monarch Gojong, was assassinated by a group of Japanese agents under Miura Gorō. After her death, she was posthumously given the title of "Empress Myeongseong". The attack happened at the royal palace Gyeongbokgung in Seoul, Joseon. This incident is known in Korea as the Eulmi Incident.
By the time of her death, the queen had acquired arguably more political power than even her husband. Through this process, she made many enemies and escaped a number of assassination attempts. Among her opponents were the king's father the Heungseon Daewongun, the pro-Japanese ministers of the court, and the Korean army regiment that had been trained by Japan: the Hullyŏndae. Weeks before her death, Japan replaced their emissary to Korea with a new one: Miura Gorō. Miura was a former military man who professed to being inexperienced in diplomacy, and reportedly found dealing with the powerful queen frustrating. After the queen began to align Korea with the Russian Empire to offset Japanese influence, Miura struck a deal with Adachi Kenzō of the newspaper Kanjō shinpō and possibly also the Daewongun to carry out her killing.
