Walking into the island along the straight way starting from the Nami Island wharf, you can find a grave of General Nami this island named after. He passed the military service examination at the age of 17 and suppressed a riot led by Lee Shi-Ae in the 13th year of King Sejo' reign of Joseon Dynasty, and then was promoted to 'Byeongjopanseo (Minister of National Defense)' at the age of 27. But he died young at 28, denounced as a traitor after King Yejong's enthronement. A phrase of his poem which is familiar with the Korean is handed down that 'Not subjugating the whole country as a man, who on earth will call him a hero?'.
