The 1592 battle of Chonju was one of the first battles fought in Korea during the Japanese Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasions.
Even though this battle was a rather minor battle compared to others during the Korean Campaign, it would be one of the very most important victories for the Korean forces over the Japanese situated on land. Korean commander Yi Kwang led his army which ended up defeating the opposing commander of the Toyotomi, Kobayakawa Takakage, in which his division was driven back to Kumsan.
