JTBC’s ‘Chackle’, Imjin War seen through Korea-China-Japan relations

JTBC’s lecture program ‘China Class’ shed light on the Japanese Invasion of Korea on August 23, 2017 under the theme of ‘Korea, China and Japan looking back on the Three Kingdoms during a turbulent period.’ Professor Han Myeong-gi of Myongji University, who was the lecturer, will discuss the Tsushima Island strategy, which was highly dependent on Korean trade at the time, the problems of the peace negotiations led by the Ming Dynasty and Japan, and the situation between the Ming Dynasty and Japan after the Japanese invasions of Korea. Since the main content is commentary from an international perspective between Korea, China, and Japan, it is meaningful in that it adds the missing context of the movie ‘Noryang’, which focuses on the conflict between the three countries.

Professor Han Myeong-ki mentioned that the Ming Dynasty, which participated in the Japanese invasions of Korea, stopped fighting in the early stages and began negotiations, saying, “When we understand the Japanese invasions of Korea, it is a passage that has great implications for understanding the international relations surrounding the entire East Asia and the Korean Peninsula.” “It appears that the goal of participating in the war has been achieved,” he said.

We hear about whether the Turtle Ship participated in the Battle of Noryang, whether the reason why Admiral Yi Sun-sin did not send the enemy back until the end was related to the death of his son, and what differences there are between the real appearance of Chinese naval generals Jin Lin and Teng Zi-ryong in real life and their appearance in the movie. In the video, Park Jong-pyeong, a researcher on Yi Sun-sin, said, “There is a bit of a problem. “You must not have thought about the historical research itself,” he said, criticizing the scene that did not follow historical research.

JTBC’s ‘Character Exploration Zone’ explores the relationship between Jin Lin and Yi Sun-shin

In the movie, Jin Lin, the governor of the Ming Dynasty navy, appears in a large part, but it is difficult to know how much is historical fact and how much is fiction. JTBC YouTube channel’s ‘Character exploration area‘ uploaded content examining the real relationship between Jinlin and Yi Sun-sin. There are records that Jinlin was as vicious as he appears in the movie, and it is also true that he received bribes from the Japanese military. Jing Bi-rok recorded, “Jin Lin has a vicious personality and cannot get along with others.”

However, in reality, it is presumed that he has a closer relationship with Admiral Yi Sun-sin than in the movie. Jinrin sent a letter to King Seonjo, praising Admiral Yi Sun-sin, and there is also a record of him being sad after Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s death. When the Ming Dynasty fell and the Qing Dynasty founded by the Jurchen people took over the central plains, Jin Lin’s descendants left the Ming Dynasty and became naturalized in Joseon.

YouTube channel Heathcovery, what happened to Konishi and Shimazu?

In the movie, Yukinaga Konishi, who served as the leader of the first army during the Japanese invasions of Korea, and Yoshihiro Shimazu, a daimyō of the Satsuma region, appear in significant roles. Since the movie does not provide specific explanations about Japanese generals and the Japanese situation other than the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it is difficult to know why Konishi and Shimazu unite and what happens to them afterwards.

History YouTube channel heathcoveryconsists of videos depicting the biographies of Yukinaga Konishi and Yoshihiro Shimazu, respectively. Rather than organizing historical records and explaining them, it is reconstructed from a first-person perspective, giving the feeling of reading a novel.

After the Japanese invasions of Korea, Japan again became a battlefield. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s death, the eastern army led by Tokugawa Ieyasu fought a decisive battle at Sekigahara with the western army led by Ishida Mitsunari, who was a close associate of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Yukinaga Konishi and Yoshihiro Shimazu entered the war as Western forces. On the other hand, Hideyoshi’s vassals continued to leave, including Kato Kiyomasa, who had dispatched troops to Joseon, and joined the eastern army. The result was the defeat of the Western army. Shimazu’s unit leaves the front line midway, while Konishi Yukinaga is beheaded along with Ishida Mitsunari. Through the video, you can see Konishi’s biography and tragic end.
