Jo Heon (Korean: 조헌; Hanja: 趙憲, 1544 – 1592) was a Joseon official and militia leader[1][2] in Korea at the time of the Imjin war.[3] He believed that Japan under Toyotomi Hideyoshi posed a threat to Korean security, but his warnings were not heeded. When war broke out in 1592, he raised a volunteer militia to resist the Japanese invaders. He was killed during the second battle of Geumsan in 1592.[4]
