Dongnae

Tongnae was a fortified town near the southeastern coast of Korea, guarding the approaches inland from Pusan. On 15 April 1592, shortly after Japanese forces landed, the magistrate Song Sanghyŏn and the townspeople resisted their assault on Tongnae Castle. Song died in the fighting and the town fell. A shrine established in 1605 commemorated him and later honoured others who had died defending the district.
