• ... that a Japanese man raised over 1,000 Korean orphans during the Japanese occupation of Korea? Source: [1] this is in English; not many writings on him exist in English otherwise. I think the 3,000 figure is a little high; most Korean-language sources in the article claim over 1,000.

Overall: I find the hook very interesting – in fact, the whole article is fascinating – but I'm not sure if I should be worried about readers who don't know about the Japanese occupation of Korea. Since the "raised over 1,000 orphans" fact is interesting even without the historical context, I don't think this should be an issue. Toadspike [Talk] 09:43, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
