Doesn't upset me at all, I'm just surprised it took me this long to hear about it.

Oh wow, Yi Soon Shin beheading fleeing soldiers and putting their heads up for display is not a part I ever heard about till now. I guess most koreans don't talk about that part since it doesn't fit into the whole "hero" narrative.

I agree that this would upset modern sensibilities. It's not the kind of thing shown in a lot of dramas, stories, and videos about the Admiral.
