Gaeryeong

Kaeryŏng lies in the inland river country of western Kyŏngsang, near the approaches through Kimch'ŏn. During the Japanese invasion of 1592, volunteer commander Kim Myŏn fought enemy forces operating in Kaeryŏng and neighbouring Kimsan and Chirye. Yun T'ak, another volunteer leader, joined him in these actions before taking part in the defence of Chinju farther south.
