Ungchi Battle Site of the Imjin War - The Ungchi Battle Site of the Imjin War is a defensive position where righteous armies and government forces battled during the Imjin War of 1592 (25th year of King Seonjo) to block the Japanese army's advance into Jeolla province. The elite forces and righteous armies of Joseon engaged in defensive warfare at Ungchi (熊峙), located on the boundary between Jinan and Wanju (Wanju-gun, Soyang-myeon, Sinwon-ri to Jinan-gun, Bugui-myeon, Hwanggeum-ri), blocking the Japanese army's advance into Jeolla province and playing an important role in changing the tide of the Imjin War. The site has outstanding historical value in understanding the battle history of that period.
