Song Sang-hyeon
Song Sang-hyeon (Korean: 송상현; Hanja: 宋象賢; 1551 – 23 May 1592) was a civil minister, writer, and general during the Joseon dynasty. He was the prefect of Dongnae during the Siege of Dongnae, one of the first battles of the Imjin War. He led troops against Japanese general Konishi Yukinaga and was defeated. When presented with demands of surrender, Song famously declined and was captured alive and subsequently killed. His pen name was Cheongok, his courtesy name was Deokgu, and his posthumous name was Chungnyeol.
