General Soon Shin in Josun Dynasty, 100 years ago in Korea, was a hero but not in Japan. Followed the history, Japan and Korea was a rival like Tom and Jerry. They invaded and plundered each other. For instance, If Japan made a war, and then Korea made war next time. Through those frightened history, Soon Shin was a big hero but he was also terrorist in Japan. Followed what he did for Korea, He had victories against the Japanese navy during the Japanese invasions of Korea during the wars. His title of Naval Commander of the Three Provinces notified as the title of the commander of the managing arm of the Korean navy until 1896. He is also known for his invitation of the turtle ship which is big issues in Korea, also in Japan .He is famed to have been victorious in every naval battle in which he commanded.
Instead of what a surprising he did, Japanese have totally different idea from what Koreans think. The reason probably is General Soon Shin gave a victory to Korea however he also gave reversal to Japan. Most wars between them, he always brought triumph to Korea. As this instance, the same fact sometimes brings different meaning to each.
