A Young 35-year-old general with Yi Sun-sin | Lee Eok-gi, the hidden hero of Imjin War

What: This short tells the story of General Yi Eok-gi, an unsung hero of the Korean navy during the Imjin War. He was a brilliant general who, at the tender age of 21, had already been appointed as a lieutenant general, and alongside Yi Sun-sin, he led the Korean navy to fight the Japanese invasion. Key takeaways Brilliance at a young age: Yi was already appointed as a lieutenant general at the age of 21, outranking Yi Sun-sin at the time. Collaborated with Yi: Yi worked closely with Yi on strategy, with dozens of entries in the 'Nanjung Ilgi' stating that Yi and Yi "discussed operations all night and fell asleep at sea." Commanded the Jeonrausu Army: Yi led the Jeonrausu Army and was responsible for more than one-third of Joseon's naval forces. Naval Battle of Chilcheonryang: At the Battle of Chilcheonryang, where Won Gyun retreated and fled, Yi remained to fight to the end, defending the dignity of Jeon Rausu until his last breath. Defending Yi Sun-sin: When Yi Sun-sin was falsely accused and in danger, Yi defended him, claiming his innocence. Why Yi? Yi Eung-gi was 16 years younger than Yi Sun-sin, but his exceptional abilities and loyalty made him one of Yi Sun-sin's most trusted comrades. His story is reminiscent of the unsung heroes of the Korean navy during the Imjin War, and his loyalty and courage are a reminder of the importance of the Korean people. We invite viewers to discover the story of General Yi Eung-gi through this short. Through his exceptional abilities at a young age, his close collaboration with Yi Sun-sin, and his loyalty to the end, we hope to remind you of an unsung hero in history.
