During the seven years Korea was consumed by the two Hideyoshi Invasions, Yi never once suffered defeat, emerging victorious in all battles. But when Japanese general Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea in 1592, and the Joseon Dynasty found itself on the brink of collapse, it was Yi's heroic actions that saved the country from impending doom. Despite being an excellent soldier, he did not draw attention to his military prowess.
#KOREA SUDDEN ATTACK RANKING SERIES#
Upon becoming a military officer at the relatively late age of 32, Yi faced a series of difficulties until he reached the rank of suguntongjesa (roughly equivalent to today's naval commander) at the age of 47 due to his upright character and unwillingness to make unjust compromises. Yi Sun-shin was born in 1545 in Seoul to a poor yangban (ruling class) family. For Koreans, Yi Sun-shin is more than just a historical figure: he lives on in Koreans' hearts as a role model-a "Saintly Hero (seongung)." Even today, novels, movies, television dramas, and plays continue to be inspired by the life of Yi Sun-shin. Even in Japan, the country he defeated centuries ago, Yi Sun-shin is still acknowledged as a god of war.
Yi Sun-shin was a military hero who rescued Korea from a desperately dangerous situation during two invasions by Japanese general Toyotomi Hideyoshi and who triumphed 23 times without a single loss during naval battles with the Japanese. If you ask any Korean whom they respect the most in their country's history, nine out of ten will choose Yi Sun-shin. Yi Sun-shin, an eternal hero of the Korean people
