@ksbn001 This is what Koreans say about themselves: according to the main editorial by the Chief Editor of Choson Ilbo, the biggest newspaper in South Korea, on Mar 6, 2012, Feb. 2, 2010, and Feb. 13, 2003 (printed version), "Koreans lie as if they breathe” and “Koreans are the world’s biggest liar of all." Korea has the highest fraud rate and is the only country whose fraud rate exceeds that of robbery in OECD. Also, all of the perjury, calumny, and fraud rates in South Korea are some 160-670 times higher than those of Japan.

For instance, lost in the Siege of Suncheon.
In your 露梁海戦, Korean record says you won while Japanese record says they won. But the simple fact is that Koreans could not kill any Japanese generals and could not capture Konishi. Also Japanese not only killed Yi, but also 鄧子龍、李英男、方徳龍、高得蒋、李彦良 as well. So you could guess whose record are close to the truth.
Why don't you look up wiki. They are not always true, but there are many references including primary source evidences.
You have to compare the records from both sides. But generally Korean records are full of lies and fabrications.

Fabricated Korean history:
Several years ago, in response to China's and Korean's claims on Japan's history education, Stanford Uni. conducted research on the history education of five countries: China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and USA. They concluded that the history taught in Japan was the fairest; in China, propaganda; in Korea, fantasy.
It is YOU who cannot read your own true history as they are all written in Chinese characters.
It is YOU who cannot even CHECK who is telling the truth.
All you can do is to regurgitate the fabrications that your stupid government keeps on cocking up in order to hide the miserable fact that they are so ashamed about: your oldest official history book says the king of Silla was Japanese from Japan; since the time of Yuan Dynasty, Korea was dependency of China for almost one thousand years; Korea was so poor, miserable and hopeless that your ancestors asked Japan to annex and modernize; the independence of South Korea was not fought for, but it was given by US.
You should worry about your history before worrying about others.

Yi Sun-sin:
Even though Korean wants to include Yi Sun-sin (李舜臣) as one of the three Greatest Admirals of the world, Horatio Nelson of the Britain who prevailed in the Battle of Trafalgar, John Paul Jones of the America who defeated the British for its independence, and Heihachiro Togo of Japan who defeated the Russia’s Baltic Fleet, he was not even a supreme commander, nor did he prevail in the battle that Koreans claim to have won.
To start with, throughout their history, Korea was the weakest in the region. Since the time of Yuan Dynasty, Korea had been a tribunary state of China for almost one thousand years. They always asked other countries to fight for Korea’s domestic issues like in the Korean War, and this is why they have no true national hero.
Yi Sun-sin was merely a commander of a single fleet out of many Joseon fleets, certainly not the admiral or the commander of the Ming-Joseon combined fleet. Not only he failed to defeat the Japanese navy, he could not prevent them on the sea, allowing them to land on the Korean Peninsula.
In fact, in the first dispatch, Japan conquered Seoul within one month, and Pyeongyang within two months capturing the princes of Joseon as a hostage while there was NO Japanese commander killed except for one who was assassinated during hawking.
Japan at the time was the hay days of samurai and had the largest number of guns in the world with many experienced samurai in communications and modern battle tactics of the day. Korea on the other hand was merely a tribunary state of Ming with NO guns. There is no way Korean could beat Japan by itself.
The only military exploit that Yi Sun-sin had against Japan was when he attacked “a supply fleet” and temporally cut off its supply route. But this is by no means “destroyed" or “defeated." His strategies were more like those of pirates or guerrillas, setting fire on ships at night or attacking from the back of Japanese fleets after agreeing on cease-fire. Coward and so typical of the weak. And in the end, Yi was killed in a revenge batte of attacking Japanese after the cease-fire.
Later, since the military leader of Japan, Hideyoshi, who planned to conquer China through Korea, died of old age in Osaka, Japan agreed on cease-fire and retreated.
It is a blatant lie for Koreans to say that Yi Sun-sin was a great admiral of the world, defeated the Japanese navy, or is the one from whom the world’s other admirals learn from.
However, you could say that he had some brain, avoiding front-to-front battle with the Japanese on the sea.

@aelis9269 ??????
What an idiot.
Korean Swords:
Japanese swords are nothing like Korean ones. To begin with, Koreans did NOT have martial arts other than their archery.
Korean Sword Martial Arts:
1) Wubei Zhi (武備志)
Wubei Zhi is a Chinese strategy book during the Ming Dynasty (1368 -1644), which was compiled by a Chinese, Mao Yuanyi, in 1621. The reason for the compilation arose from the failure in the Imjin War (1592 -1597) in which the Chinese soldiers were unable to fight equally against the Japanese samurai with their swords.
At the beginning of the book, the author, Mao Yuanyi, wrote “Our swords are shorter and weaker than the Japanese ones,” and that “our Tang Dynasty’s sword martial art was lost in China, but one dilettante found it is remaining in Korea as Joseon Saebeop."
2) Muyedobotongji (武芸図譜通志, 무예도보통지)
Muyedobotongji is the only Korean strategy book, and it was only written as recently as at the end of the 18th century in Joseon. But despite what Wubei Zhi says, the book says at the beginning “the ONLY martial art in Korea is archery (止弓矢一技),” and by referring to the Imjin War like Wubei Zhi, it was compiled with an aim of CREATING a NEW sword martial art by combining Chinese and Japanese sword martial arts. This is the true character of “本国剣,” or what Koreans call “traditional Korean sword art."
So, even if the Korean sword art did exist as Koreans claim, it was the Chinese sword martial art of the Tang Dynasty, and Korea's “traditional” sword art, 本国剣, is a combination of Chinese and Japanese sword martial arts.
“Corea has NO samurai. She lacks what Japan always had - a cultured body of men, the soldier, and scholar in one, who held to a high ideal of loyalty, patriotism, and sacrifice for the country.”
— “Corea the Hermit Nation” by William Grifiss (1843-1928)
“Common soldiers hardly ever wear swords. Only officers and mandarins of higher rank are armed with such of JAPANESE make, but they are all OLD and RUSTY. It is more likely that these also were BROUGHT into the country by the JAPANESE, and were left behind on their withdrawal."
— “A Forbidden Land” by Ernst Oppet (1832 - 1903)
Having said that, Koreans did have shorter swords that they wore under an armpit, back to front, and hung on a swivel.
Korean swords are so different to the Japanese ones: they are much shorter; not curved; single ridged; using much lower quality iron; has no hamon or no habaki; and most importantly the hard steel, hagane, is not sandwiched giving it a much lower cutting quality in battles.
Korean swords were used only supplementally to their bows and arrows, unlike Japanese katana. They hold no spiritual values to anyone and were poorly made with much lower cutting and artistic qualities.
In addition, despite the fact that Koreans want to claim it was the Koreans who taught Japanese how to make iron and swords, the Japanese traditional steel making process, Tatara, is not related to Korean one, and it is more related to ones in the Central or West Asia. The fact is that even today, Koreans cannot produce kitchen knives good and sharp enough to cut raw fish for sushi.
They are two different things, almost as different from the Western swords.
Note that Koreans swords you see on TV and in their martial arts today are NOT their traditional ones, as all Korean martial arts other than their archery started AFTER the 1960s by modifying Japanese martial arts. That is why you see some Korean swords similar to the Japanese katana.
