	» Yeon Gaesomun » Korean Drama
		Yeon Gae Somun is the general who killed the penultimate King of Goguryeo, Yeongnyu, in 642.
		After General Yeon put Yeongnyu’s nephew Bojang as his puppet on the throne following his coup d’etat, he tried with little success to calm down Yeon’s two sons in trying to gain power, and started repressing Buddhism (the Kingdom’s official religion) in favour of Taoism.

	Yeon Gaesomun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yeon is remembered most for a series of overwhelming military victories over the invading Tang Chinese forces under Taizong--often considered the greatest Chinese monarch and himself a talented general--and his son Gaozong.
		Yeon Gaesomun was the first and eldest son of Yeon Taejo, the Mangniji of Goguryeo during the reigns of Kings Pyeongwon of Goguryeo and Yeongyang of Goguryeo.
		Yeon Gaesomun's 642 coup d'etat came as the culimnation of a lengthy power struggle within the Goguryeo aristocracy between those who favored a policy of appeasement toward the Tang China and those hard-liners who advocated military confrontation.

	Yeon Namsaeng - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yeon Namsaeng 淵南生 (634-679) was the eldest son of the Goguryeo military leader and DaeMagniji Yeon Gaesomun (603?-665).
		In the power struggle that ensued following the death of his father around 665, Namsaeng could not prevail against his younger brothers Yeon Namgeon and Yeon Namsan and fled to Tang.
		The Chinese rendering of Namsaeng’s family name is Cheon 泉 (Chinese Quan) rather than Yeon 淵, most likely because Yeon (Chinese, Yuan) was the given name of Tang Gaozu 高祖 (Li Yuan 李淵), founder and first emperor of Tang, and taboo to apply to another by Chinese tradition.

	Yeon Gaesomun : Heroes of Koguryo, Korea
		In the same year, he seized a political power as a Dae-mak-ri-ji (Prime Minister) with King Bojang by overthrowing King Youngryu and his 180 fellow politicians who were opposed to him.
		In 645, Yeon, Gaesomun defeated Tang's hundreds of thousand troops sent by King Taizong several times.
		The death of Yeon, Gaesomun brought Koguryo the fatal, internal disruption over the succession of political and military power, and this unfortunately led Koguryo be on the road to collapse.

	Koguryo History : Downfall and Succession of Koguryo
		Yeon Gaesomun, who seized power in 642, was a great general.
		He led Koguryo to victory in wars against Tang in 645 and 662.
		Furthermore, after Yeon Gaesomun died, a power struggle broke out among his three sons over the succession of the throne and this internal dissension threw Koguryo into doom.

		This, combined with Goguryeo's increasing political instability following the 642 murder of its king Yeongnyu at the hands of the military general Yeon Gaesomun, proved the kingdom's undoing.
		When Yeon Gaesomun rejected negotiations with Silla, Silla was forced to look to its ties with Tang.
		Goguryo's ally in the southwest, Baekje, fell to the Silla-Tang alliance in 661; the victorious allies continued their assault on Goguryeo for the next eight years and eventually vanquished the weary kingdom, which had been suffering from a series of famines and internal strife.

		Yes, historically speaking that meeting could never happen, but it's a pretty effective portrait of the situation the Korean Peninsula found itself in during the 7th Century AD.
		The big power would be Emperor Tai Zong of the Tang, the dictator up North Yeon Gaesomun -- yes, the same of the Sageuk airing right now on SBS -- of Goguryeo, while the two 'brothers' down South constantly fighting each other are Baekje's King Uija, and Kim Choon-Chu of Shilla.
		Which is a very interesting way to say that not much has changed in the last 1300 years.

	:: KOREA FOCUS :: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The bedroom theaters are hot with Jumong and Yeon Gaesomun, TV series dealing with ancient Korean history, while downtown movie theaters offer “Hanband” (“Korean Peninsula”), a blockbuster movie focused on Korean modern history.
		I would say that today’s historical dramas will function as “opium” that aggravates illness as far as they are made to satisfy the people’s heightened interests in history with stories catering to their sentiments about history.
		Jumong and Yeon Gaesomun, in which the ancient Korean kingdom of Goguryeo is depicted as an empire as powerful as the neighboring China, lure modern-day Koreans by allowing them to identify themselves with their ancestors in the glorious past.

		Few people have one- or three-character given names, like the politicians Kim Gu and Goh Kun on the one hand, and Yeon Gaesomun on the other.
		Judging from Japanese records, some characters were pronounced not by their Chinese reading but by their reading in the native language (see Hanja).
		For example, Goguryeo General Yeon Gaesomun (ì—°ê°ìë¬¸; æ·µè“èæ—) is called Iri Kasumi (ä¼æ¢¨æ¯é å¼¥) in Nihonshoki.

	Goguryeo
		Under Gaozu's successor Taizong, Tang forged an alliance with Goguryeo's rival Silla after defeating Goguryeo's western ally, the Gokturks.
		This, combined with Goguryeo's increasing political instability following the 642 murder of its king Yeongnyu at the hands of the military strongman Yeon Gaesomun, proved the kingdom's undoing.
		Goguryo's ally in the southwest, Baekje, fell to the Silla-Tang alliance in 660; the victorious allies continued their assault on Goguryeo for the next eight years and eventually vanquished the weary kingdom, which had been suffering from a series of famines and internal strife.

		Just over the weekend, SBS joined the Goguryeo banquet with “Yeon Gaesomun,” an eponymous program about a courageous general who lived in later Goguryeo.
		Aside from a television drama in 1964 that depicted an ancient romance myth from the Goguryeo era, there had not been a single production made that focuses on the kingdom, although countless dramas have been set in the Joseon and Goryeo dynasties.
		Lee Hwan-gyeong, an author and scriptwriter for several history dramas, including “Yeon Gaesomun,” said he had diplomacy on his mind when he started writing the story about Goguryeo.

	Dasepo Naughty Girls (2006) Movie Review \| BeyondHollywood.com \| Asian, Foreign, Horror, and Genre Movie Reviews and ...
		The film does not have much of a plot as such, and basically revolves around a number of students at a high school aptly named ‘No Use High’ and their encounters with sexually transmitted diseases, underage prostitution, strangely alluring transsexuals, demented cross dressing gangsters, and even aliens.
		These include the poverty stricken ‘Poor Girl’ (played by Kim Ok Bin, also in “Over the Rainbow”), a rich transfer student from Switzerland (Park Jin Woo, “My Little Bride”), and a virginal Cyclops (actor Lee Kyeon of “Yeon Gaesomun” and “Hello, Francesca”), all of whom run into a variety of wacky scrapes and compromising encounters.
		Director Lee does try to work in a plot in the later stages of the film, involving students at the school somehow being brainwashed into working hard and abandoning their promiscuous ways, though this is drowned out by the constant barrage of risqué gags and mock-karaoke music videos.

		As I recall, it ended with you baring your teeth at Gaesomun and hissing something about "nasssssty hobbitses" and me pulling my sword on you.
		While I think you had several good research ideas, I must say the emhpasis on finding references to lost (or as you put it, "stolen") rings in Shire records was not quite what I had hoped for.

		Also, I think mismanaging assets like Baekdusan is at the very bottom of the list of things that make the North Korean leadership pathetic.
		Alas, only if Yeon Gaesomun had captured Tang Taizong after the Battle of the An-shi Fortress!
		In all seriousness, I have two questions, partly derived from the fact that I haven’t followed the war over Koguryo that closely, because of the multiple silliness that the issue raises:
