== History==
From 1592 to 1598, Joseon defended itself against invasions from the Japanese warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Yun Pyeong-Gyu, a Joseon scholar and engineer, had ancestors who fought in the war and were slaughtered. This resulted in a long lasting animosity between the two nations and their people onwards.Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple – Episode 40
In 1725, during the reign of King , a Joseon envoy was sent to the Qing Empire. Yun, who accompanied the envoy, was captured and held prisoner by pirates near the Philippines, until his rescue by the Assassin Edward Kenway.Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple – Episode 26 Yun subsequently joined the Assassin's organization, the [[Zhang Wei Union, in Macau, where he built various weapons and tools for them while looking for a way to return to his homeland.Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple – Episode 27
Following the events at Sun's floating gambling hall that resulted in the slaughter of Shimazu Saito's followers, Edward recruited Saito into the Zhang Wei Union and brought her back to their headquarters. Upon recognising her as a Japanese samurai, Yun deeply objected to Edward's decision, with Zhang telling Edward and John Young of the wars fought between Joseon and the Japanese. While Saito was grateful for being recognised as Japanese unlike her clanmates, Yun lashed out at her and brought up how his ancestors had been slaughtered during the Imjin War. Eventually, Yun and Saito dropped the animosity during a friendly archery contest and agreed to work together.
