The Siege of Jinju took place during the Imjin War (1592-1598), a conflict between the Korean Kingdom and Japan. The siege occurred in 1592 when Japanese forces, led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, aimed to capture the strategically important city of Jinju. The Korean defenders, under the command of Kim Si-min, put up a strong resistance despite being outnumbered. The siege lasted for several weeks, with the Japanese employing various tactics to breach the city's defenses. Ultimately, the city fell to the Japanese, but the fierce defense inspired further resistance in Korea. The siege is remembered as a significant event in Korean history, highlighting the resilience of its people.
