About Laurent Joseph Marius Imbert
- Laurent-Joseph-Marius Imbert, MEP (23 March 1796 – 21 September 1839), sometimes called Laurent-Marie-Joseph Imbert and affectionately known in Korea as Bishop Imbert Bum (Hangul: Bum-Se-Hyeong) was a French missionary bishop in Asia.
- Most notable among the Koreans, he was appointed by Pope Gregory XVI in August 1836 when first Bishop Barthélemy Bruguière died in Manchuria. Eventually, he was executed in the Kingdom of Joseon for his Catholic faith; it is estimated that 8,000 to 10,000 were killed for their faith in 19th-century Korea—the Korean Martyrs.
- 103 of them, including Imbert, were canonized by the Catholic Church as saints in 1984.
- His feast day is 21 September, and he is also venerated with the rest of the 103 Korean martyrs on 20 September.
