There are many important historical figures throughout the History of Korea. Determining which of them is the MOST important person is up to your personal opinion. Some of the most important Korean historical figures include, Dangun of Gojoseon (legendary founder of Gojoseon, the first Korean kingdom), Gwanggaeto the Great of Goguryeo (credited with making the Korean kingdom Goguryeo into a major Asian power), Wang Geon of Goryeo (credited with the founding of Goryeo as well as the complete unification of the Korean peninsula), King Sejong the Great of Joseon (credited with the creation of Hangul, the Korean alphabet, as well as the conquest of Tsushima and other regions), Admiral Yi Sun-Sin (savior of Joseon during the Imjin War and inventor of the ingenuous turtle ship), and Syngman Rhee and Kim Il-Sung (for dividing the Korean peninsula after 1300 years of unification).
