Summary

Description
English: Special mission from Korea to U.S.A. 1883. Prince Min Yong Ik, minister plenipotentiary.

From left to right bottom row: Hong Yong Sik (vice minister), Prince Min Yong Ik (minister plenipotentiary), Soh Kong Pom (secretary to Prince and Percival Lowell (escort to U.S.).

Top row from left to right: Kyon Kueng, ThokChen, Yu-kil Chan, Kyong Chal and Pyong Sue.

Note: The description of the photo in the link is slightly wrong. Foulk didn't take this photo, he just owned it. This was the mission in 1883, before Foulk arrived in Korea. Foulk went with the mission back from the US to Korea. The photo may have been taken in Japan, depending on if Lowell was in Korea when the American legation in Tokyo requested that he join the mission. But there were very few cameras in Korea at the time. My guess is that this was taken in Tokyo?
