First Christian missionary arrives in Korea

Henry Appenzeller arrived in Korea on April 5, 1885, with his wife Ella, contradicting legacy data suggesting an 1884 arrival in Asan.

Passages confirm Appenzeller landed on April 5, 1885, an Easter Sunday morning. The legacy location of Asan is unsupported by the text. His arrival followed earlier Protestant entries by Seo Sang-ryun and Maclay, challenging the absolute 'first' claim.
