Today is the day that Admiral Yi Sun-sin, who led the victory of the Imjin War, died heroically in the Battle of Noryang after being hit by an enemy bullet. Did you know that a pair of long swords containing the admiral's fierce will to protect the country still remain? Admiral Yi Sun-sin always kept these swords by his side when he needed to calm his mind before a battle. The SBS Digital Investigative Reporting Team visited the Hyeonchungsa storage to capture the current state of Admiral Yi Sun-sin's long swords on video. The sword names engraved on the long swords resonate with the hearts of those who see them, but while the written materials including the War Diary left by Admiral Yi Sun-sin have long been designated as national treasures, the swords, which are the symbol of the general, are not on the list of national treasures for some reason. The Deoksu Lee clan, his descendants, have applied to the Cultural Heritage Administration to elevate the swords to national treasure status, saying that they want the swords to be properly valued. Now, let's wait and see what the Cultural Heritage Administration decides. Why aren't Admiral Yi Sun-sin's long swords a national treasure?
