[역사스페셜 - 시간여행자] 위화도 회군, 새 나라의 탄생 (KBS_2026.01.25.방송)

◼︎ In 1388, Yi Seong-gye, who had embarked on the conquest of Liaodong, conducted a historic retreat at Wihwado Island. He opposed the expedition, citing the practical military considerations of "sabulgaron," including the limitations of bows made from croaker glue, which were vulnerable to moisture, and the summer epidemic. This was a decisive moment, demonstrating that the former frontier warrior had transformed into a politician who cared deeply about the suffering of the common people. Revered as the hero of the Battle of Hwangsan, Yi Seong-gye traveled through exile, encountering Jeong Do-jeon, who understood the lives of the common people, and laid the foundation for a new nation. Ultimately, the Wihwado Retreat was not simply a mere ambition to usurp power, but rather a necessary historical choice, reflecting the era's aspiration to replace the crumbling Goryeo system and establish a "nation where the people are the foundation." #KoreanHistory #History #HistorySpecial #HistoryJournal #TimeTraveler Copyright ⓒ KBS.
