Joo Won Sung (?-?) was a sailor in the Joseon navy under Admiral Yi Sun Sin.
He witnessed Sin's early victories and was later imprisoned on political charges.
Sung was present when Won Gyun led the Joseon navy to near-annihilation.
At the Battle of Myeongnyang, Sung was the helmsman aboard Yi Sun Sin's flagship as a fleet of thirteen ships faced off against a fleet ten times that size — and, when the captains of the other ships were unwilling to attack against such overwhelming numbers, Sung alone engaged the enemy.

- Yi Sun-sin (nonfiction) - Admiral Yi Sun-sin (Korean: 이순신; Hanja: 李舜臣; April 28, 1545 – December 16, 1598) was a Korean admiral and military general famed for his victories against the Japanese navy during the Imjin war in the Joseon Dynasty. Yi became an exemplar of conduct for both the Koreans and Japanese.[1] Despite the fact that he had no prior naval training, Admiral Yi was never defeated at sea nor lost a single ship under his command to enemy action, and military historians have placed him on par with Admiral Horatio Nelson as one of the greatest naval commanders in history.[2][3] His title of Samdo Sugun Tongjesa (삼도 수군 통제사 ; 三道水軍統制使), literally meaning "Naval Commander of the Three Provinces", was the title used for the commander of the Korean navy until 1896.
