The Statue of Admiral Yi Sun-Shin can be found at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul.

The undefeated admiral achieved 23 victories against the Japanese navy using innovative tactics, and he is thus considered as one of the greatest generals in the history of Korea. Admiral Yi’s likeness can be found on the 100 won coin.
