Ahn Yong-Bok was a Korean fisherman in Joseon dynasty (1392-1910) and for Koreans, he is well-know as a hero and a guardian of Dokdo Islets. More likely a citizen diplomat for the Korean people. When the Korean government didn't bother to retrieve the right of Dokdo's sovereighty, Ahn Yong-Bok headed to Japan as a humble status of a fisherman and firmly claimed Dokdo as Korean territory. He is the one who acknowledged that Dokdo is part of Korea and our precious land.
According to Sukjong Sillok, Ahn Yong-Bok received verification from the Dokugawa Administration of Japan that Ulleungdo and Dokdo are Joseon’s territories.
Thanks to his effort, until now Dokdo is one of Korean people's greatest interest and could keep in our noble history. We can claim Dokdo as Korea's territory and the truth of Dokdo with dignity.
