The Story of Korean National Hero Admiral Yi Sun Sin
Yi Sun-sin was a Korean soldier in the 16th century.
Throughout his career he had built up a reputation as an exemplary leader with a brilliant eye for military decisions.

But when Japan invaded the defenceless Korean coast in their darkest hour; the government begrudgingly admitted there was only person for the job.
Listen in to learn why 51 million Koreans still know the story of Admiral Yi Sun-Sin!

One of the greatest naval battles of all time is coming up, so listen in to the final story of Korean National Hero Admiral Yi Sun-sin!
