Do you know this historical figure of Korea?
He is a famous person in korea. All koreans know about him well. Admiral Yi Sun shin made history. Today, Admiral Yi is considered one of Korea's greatest heroes of all time. The statue of Admiral Yi sun shin stands triumphantly at Gwanghwamun.
Yi is remembered for his numerous victories fighting the Japanese during the japanese invasions of Korea. Among his twenty-three victories, the Battle of Myeongnyang and the Battle of Hansan island are the most famous battles.
He made a special ship named a turtleship. Yi intended to ram enemy ships and sink them. Despite smaller numbers, they could severely damage to enemies. This is his great achievement.
Yi was killed by a single bullet in the Battle of Noryang. And while he died, he said "Do not let my death be known"Overall, all Koreans admire him because he saved our history and territory. Therefore, I introduced him in post. I guess this essay may be unfamiliar to foreigners. Moreover, some foreigners can't feel interesting from this essay. However, I wanted you to remind this historical figure. That's why I introduce Yi sun shin. As you know, besides, there are many historical figure in Korea that we have to respect. We have lived well in Korea because of them. If we don't remember them, who can remember them for Korea?. Thank you for your read it.
