Kim Isabu

Kim Isabu

Kim Isabu was a general of Silla during the 6th century. He is best remembered today for his role in subjugating the island nation of Usan-guk which is known as Ulleung-do today. Although frequently referred to as "Isabu" or "Yi Sabu," his family name is written as Kim in the "Samguk Sagi". ["Isabu" in "Samguk Sagi", Yeoljeon 4.]

During the reign of Jijeung, in 505, Isabu was appointed the governor ("gunju") of Siljikju, modern-day Samcheok. It was as governor of the wider region of Aseulla (modern-day Gangwon) that he came to launch the expedition against Usan-guk seven years later.

Later in life, Isabu rose to supreme military power in Silla, holding this position from 541 to 562. During this time, he saw the expansion of Silla's territory into former Baekje and Goguryeo holdings, reaching as far north as present-day Hamgyong. In addition, he ordered the subjugation of Daegaya, effectively putting an end to the Gaya confederacy and consolidating Silla's hold on southeastern Korea.
