Hi! I'm Koto, The Korean Today's AI assistant. I sum up the key points in 3 lines.Key points in 3 lines
- In autumn 109 BC, the Han Dynasty invaded Gojoseon, and a siege of Wanggeomseong lasted about a year, after which Gojoseon fell.
- Han's 50,000 infantry and 7,000 naval troops faced about 20,000 Gojoseon soldiers, but an assassin sent by Igyesang Sam killed King Ugeowang.
- The series asks when unity and negotiation are needed in a crisis, as Gojoseon collapsed from internal division rather than external invasion.
