	Yi Sunsin Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Yi Sunsin (1545-1598) was a Korean military strategist and naval hero.
		Yi Sunsin was born in Seoul on April 18, 1545, the son of a gentry family of moderate means.
		The reasons for Yi's conspicuous success lay in his general aggressiveness, his total knowledge of the notoriously tricky Korean coastal tides, and his mastery of engagement tactics, whereby he was able to lure the enemy out to the open sea, where he could maneuver with greater freedom.

		At the beginning of the Chosŏn (Yi) dynasty in 1392, Seoul was built surrounded by a fortified wall with four main gates and four secondary gates: a main gate at each of the cardinal points of the compass and a secondary gate between.
		Little of the original stone wall still exists, and only two of the main gates and one of the secondary gates remain standing.
		A statue of Admiral Yi Sunsin, who defended Korea against the Japanese invasions of 1592 to 1597, stands on an island at the center of Sejongno, the main downtown thoroughfare.

		Yi PyOngdo (이병도) during that time - they were all in Japanese, of course.
		Anyway, it looks as though in these times cultural self-colonization may be much more thorough and destructive than anything forced from the outside by the classical “gun-boat” imperialists.
		Then, the army, apart from the chances to rise to the position of NCO and serve as a professional soldier further, could also provide a sense of psychological compensation - you were allowed, once 고참 enough, to bully around the people, who would not allow you to come close to them in the real life.
