Choong-Moo (충무) honors Admiral Yi Soon-Sin (1545–1598), inventor of the world's first armored warship, the Kobukseon, and naval hero who saved Korea from the Japanese Imjin invasion. Its 30 movements end with an attack executed with the left hand, symbolizing his tragic death before accomplishing his ideals.
