Korean name사충단
Machine-translated from Korean. Show original
This tomb was built in 1871 by order of King Gojong to commemorate the contributions of Kim Deuk-gi, Song Bin, Yoo Sik, and Lee Dae-hyeong, who died while defending Gimhae with a volunteer army during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in April 1592 (the 25th year of King Seonjo's reign) during the Joseon Dynasty. Initially located at 873 Dongsang-dong, it was expanded and relocated to 161 Dongsang-dong under Gimhae's urban planning, and a memorial service is held every year on April 20th of the lunar calendar. In 1600 (the 33rd year of King Seonjo's reign) after the end of the Japanese Invasion of Korea, among the Gaseon Daebu (嘉善大夫), Kim Deuk-gi and Lee Dae-hyeong were posthumously promoted to Ijo Champan, and Yoo Sik and Song Bin were promoted to Hojo Champan. Among these, Kim Deuk-gi's tomb is in Hallim-myeon and Lee Dae-hyeong's tomb is in Sangdong-myeon.
