Yi Sun-sin, Korea's Greatest Admiral | The Theft of the Mona Lisa

It's episode 93 and it is time for some HIGH seas and some HIGH-sts (heists, we might have been trying a bit too hard there with the word play)

First up, Kt takes us to Korea during Japan's invasions of the nation, commonly known as the Imjin War in Korea's Joseon Period (1392 to 1910). There we meet Korea's great admiral, Yi Sun-sin, who won several key battles against the odds, helping to turn the tides of the war.

Next, we head to 1911 Paris and watch as the heist of the world's most famous painting unfolds at the Louvre--the theft of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. You won't believe how lax the security was and how easy it was to pluck pieces off the wall and walk out...
