Template:Korean name

Kim Ung-so (1564–1624) was a senior military officer in the Joseon dynasty. During the Imjin war, he was in charge of soldiers and horses in the Eastern Gyeongsang Province.^[1]

During this war, he was ordered to proceed north with his troops and fight the Jurchens instead of the Japanese.^[1] His army of 15,000 Koreans later joined the Chinese Commander Ma Gui and 24,000 Chinese soldiers in the Second Siege of Ulsan; the combined force failed to take the Japanese Castle.^[2]

The house where he was born in Okto-ri, Ryonggang County, Nampo is considered one of the National Treasures of North Korea
