THE GUARDIAN
Inspired by the legendary Korean naval commander, Admiral Yi Sun-shin, the Guardian is the mascot of Yongsan International School of Seoul. Admiral Yi was known for his bravery and strategic thinking and for being a skilled leader who led his troops to act with honor and integrity. We strive for our Guardians to embody the same spirit of courage and determination as they represent and protect Yongsan International School of Seoul's core values of truth, excellence, and diversity.
