Spirit of Korea _ Yi Sun-shin(이순신)
[ Yi Sun-shin – A global hero who brought about a miraculous victory ]
Yi Sun-shin is the hero of the Battle of Hansando Island, one of the 4 greatest naval battles in history. Admiral Yi Sun-shin, the first admiral in Asia to carry on a modern fleet warfare utilizing combat ships carrying loads of artillery, accomplished a surprising record of 23 battles and 23 victories during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. He was a loyal vassal, who had been faithful to his king to the end. Even his pen name was ‘ilshim,’ meaning ‘one heart.’ He always did his best in all that he did, adhered to principles, was on guard against becoming conceited and always lived by the motto that ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,’ even before and after the war. As such, when the Japanese Invasion of 1592 occurred a year after he was appointed as the Naval Commander of EastJeolla-doProvince, he was able to win battle after battle beginning with the Battle of Okpo. The Battle of Myeongnyang, in which he brought about a miraculous victory, defeating a fleet of 133 ships with only 13 vessels, was a clear example of his enduring loyalty to his king and his country. Let’s explore the life of the great admiral Yi Sun-shin who is still admired by many even today.

Peace Insight _ North and South Korea's Tribute to Admiral Yi Sun-shin(남북, 이순신을 기리다)
North and South Korea's Tribute to Admiral Yi Sun-shin
Admiral Yi Sun-shin is the people's hero who gave up his life for the country. On April 27, South Korea celebrated the 471st anniversary of his birth. Though there was a play about him recently, North Korea views Admiral Yi Sun-shin a bit differently from South Korea. However, there is no doubt that the respect Koreans have for Admiral Yi Sun-shin goes beyond history and ideology.
남북, 이순신을 기리다
죽고자 하면 살 것이오, 살고자 하면 죽을 것이다. 나라를 위해 제 목숨 기꺼이 내놓은 민족 성웅 이순신 장군. 지난 4월 27일, 충무공 이순신 장군 탄생 471주기를 맞아 국내에서는 탄신을 축하하는 행사가 전국 각지에서 다채롭게 열렸다. 그러나 북한에서는 최근 연극이 무대에 올려 지기도 했지만 이순신을 바라보는 시각이 남한과 같지는 않다. 그러나 이순신은 역사와 이념을 뛰어 우리민족이 존경하는 성웅이다.
