Yi Sun-sin would not bend to corruption. He rejected unjust demands, even when they came from powerful men.

He did not abandon his country.


He endured humiliation, continued serving faithfully, and earned his way back through courage and duty.


In 1591, Yi Sun-sin was appointed Naval Commander of Left Jeolla Province. The defense of Korea’s southern seas now rested in his hands.

Together with skilled officers and shipbuilders, including Na Dae-yong, he prepared the turtle ship for combat.


Before the enemy arrived, Yi Sun-sin had already begun building the navy that would save a nation.
