During this war, he was ordered to proceed north with his troops and fight the Jurchens instead of the Japanese.[1] His army of 15,000 Koreans later joined the Chinese Commander Ma Gui and 24,000 Chinese soldiers in the Second Siege of Ulsan; the combined force failed to take the Japanese Castle.[2]
The house where he was born in Okto-ri, Ryonggang County, Nampo is considered one of the National Treasures of North Korea.
