From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Park Jin (Korean: 박진; Hanja: 朴晉, 25 August 1560 – March 1597), was a Korean Joseon Dynasty Army general and politician. He was one of the Korean generals of the Imjin War.[1] Park came from the Miryang Park clan.
Battle of Gyeongju[edit]
During the Imjin War, Park Jin fought to recapture the city of Gyeongju from the Japanese invaders. His first attack was repelled, but he returned with a mortar and fired a delayed-action bomb over the wall. The Japanese evacuated the city rather than defend it against such mortars.[2]
