Royalty to the Country

Royalty to the Country

The appearance of Yi sun-shin with his royalty from the time of starting to work in government position to the time of his death remained in every actions he had undertaken. That was the display of the personal characteristics beyond all simple concepts for an average person consistent in all periods of times after the war. As known in his Siho of Chungmugong, he had clear spirit and sense of mission to be royal to his country as a military man.

Unyielding royalty of Yi sun-shin was even more conspicuous through the course of his hardship in taking twice of serving as a commoner. The unjust punishment never to understand with any kind of rationality was acceptable for him with the endurance and silence only because he had the will power to save his people during the turbulent time of war. This is the pinacle of his royalty and extreme showing of his love for country beyond the standard of any human.
