The Heroic Legends
Among the pantheon of Korean heroes, a few stand out as beacons of courage and sacrifice. General Kim Yusin (595-673),known as the "Father of Unified Silla," played a pivotal role in the unification of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. His military brilliance and unwavering loyalty earned him the respect of both friend and foe alike.
Admiral Yi Sun-sin (1545-1598),the legendary "Turtle Ship" commander, is revered as one of the greatest naval strategists in history. During the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592-1598),he led the Korean navy to countless victories against overwhelming odds, employing innovative tactics and ingenious ship designs.
The Treacherous Villains
In stark contrast to the heroes, Korean history also bears witness to a cast of villains whose actions brought suffering and division upon the nation. Yi Joonggyeom (1219-1249),the last king of the Goryeo Dynasty, surrendered to the Mongol invaders and became a puppet ruler. His treachery earned him the title of "Traitor King," forever tarnishing his legacy.
Queen Janggyeong (1720-1757),a powerful concubine who ruled during the reign of King Yeongjo, is remembered for her ruthless manipulation and ambition. Her machinations led to the deaths of several legitimate heirs to the throne, plunging the royal court into chaos and instability.
