Thomas Son Chasuhn
Thomas Son Chasuhn (1838–1866) was one of the Korean Martyrs canonised by the Roman Catholic church in 1984. His feast day is March 30, and he is also venerated along with the rest of the 103 Korean martyrs on September 20. Thomas was a devout Catholic.

Thomas confessed it boldly, and was thrown in prison.
