Battle of Kyongju
The Battle of Kyongju was an engagement between United Nations (UN) and North Korean (NK) forces early in the Korean War from August 31 to September 15, 1950, in the vicinity of Kyongju in South Korea. It was a part of the Battle of Pusan Perimeter, and was one of several large engagements fought simultaneously. The battle ended in a victory for the United Nations after large numbers of United States (US) and Republic of Korea (ROK) troops repelled a strong North Korean attack.
Yi Gwang
Yi is best known for his participation in the Battle of Jeonju, which took place in 1592, the first year of the invasions. Yi defeated the enemy commander Kobayakawa Takakage, securing what would come to be seen as one of the most important victories for the Koreans over the Japanese on land, throughout both invasions.
