Gwanchang

Gwanchang is defined by his indomitable will and lack of fear in the face of death. He embodies the ideal of a self-sacrificing warrior who prioritizes the morale and victory of his comrades over his own life. His moniker, 'Hwarang Knows No Retreat,' perfectly encapsulates his refusal to back down even when faced with overwhelming odds.

Gwanchang was a young Hwarang warrior of the Silla kingdom. During the historical Battle of Hwangsanbeol, he fought against the Baekje general Gyebaek. Despite his youth and limited experience, he repeatedly challenged the enemy lines to boost the morale of his army. Ultimately, he was captured and brought before Gyebaek, who was so impressed by the boy's spirit that he initially spared him. However, Gwanchang returned to the battlefield once more, leading Gyebaek to kill him by slitting his throat.
