Yul Kwon
Yul Kwon – General and loyal subject leading Joseon with the general Sunshin Lee
1537 ~ 1599 Great commander in the middle of Joseon Dynasty
“Get together, then we live. If not, we all die.” General Yul Kwon never gave up when they were surrounded by 30 thousand Japanese troops. Citizens residing in Hangju Fortress also participated in the leadership of the general Yul that actively helped him fight against Japanese armies. Therefore, general Yul Kwon ended up winning the battle against Japanese armies that were ten times bigger than his troops. Without leadership of the general Yul Kwon, it might not be possible. We miss the leadership of the general Yul Kwon in the present when there was no leadership without responsibility every time when national disasters occur. Siege of Hangju: Battle the general Yul Kwon won against Japanese troops during the Japanese invasion. It is one of the three huge wars during Japanese invasion with siege of Jinju and Hasando.
