[2021.04.28.Wed] 입이 트이는 영어 Admiral Yi Sun-sin 이순신 장군

[Speaking] Talk about Admiral Yi Sun-sin

Throughout history, there have been thriving exchanges between Korea and Japan. But the two countries also bumped heads in several wars.

 

A major example of Japanese invasion of Korea was the 임진 war in 1592. With violent force, Japanese troops marched on Joseon.

At the time, Admiral Yi Sun-sin was the commander of the naval forces in Jeolla provice. He notched many victories in naval battles against the Japanese. In doing so, he cut off the enemy's supply chain and changed the course of the war. In the battle of 명량, he sank hundreds of enemy ships despite being outnumbered with just over 10 ships.

Sadly, he died in battle during his last fight against the enemy.

Admiral Yi Sun-sin's loyalty, courage, and resolute spirit still resonate with people today. He is one of the most deeply admired historical figures of all time in Korea
