The Korean
Martyrs were the victims of religious persecution
against Catholic Christians during the 19th century
in Korea. At
least 8,000 (as many as 10,000) adherents to the faith were killed during this
period. Paul Yun Ji-Chung and 123 companions were declared "Venerable"
on February 7, 2014, and on August 16, 2014, they were beatified by Pope Francis during the Asian Youth
Day in Gwanghwamun Plaza, Seoul, South Korea.
