"In 1592, General Kim Si-Min and his 3,800 men killed 20,000 Japanese troops, heightening national pride. Lanters were used as military signals and also as methods of communication between soldiers and their families.
During the second attack in 1593, 70,000 Korean citizens, officials and soldiers were killed and after it they began floating lanterns on the river during the Gaecheon Art Festival as a service for repose of the deceased and peace and prosperity of homes and the nation.
The Jinju Namgang Yudeung Festival is the symbol of royalty and wishing."
