'''Paik Sun-yup''' (((korean|백선엽|白善燁|rr=Baek Seon-yeop)); November 23, 1920 – July 10, 2020) was a [[South Korean military]] officer. Paik is best known for his service during the [[Korean War]], for being the first four-star general in the history of the South Korean military, and for his service as a diplomat and statesman for [[South Korea]].

==Early life and education==
Paik was born in Tokhung in Kangso County,((Clarify|reason=Which is it, Kangso County or Chinnanpo-gun like in infobox?|date=March 2024)) [[Heian'nan-dō]], [[Korea under Japanese rule|Korea, Empire of Japan]] (now [[South Pyongan Province]], North Korea) on November 23, 1920. He was the second of three siblings, with an older sister and younger brother, being raised by a widowed mother. In 1925 the Paik family moved to [[Pyongyang|Heijō]] (modern Pyongyang), where they lived under deplorable conditions in a single, rented room. Unable to feed her family, Paik's mother attempted to commit family-suicide with her children by jumping from the [[Taedong River|Daidō River]] Bridge but was dissuaded from doing so by her eldest daughter.<ref name="Paik 1992" />

Paik's mother and sister soon took jobs at a rubber factory. this in addition with the help of a greatly reduced tuition allowed Paik to attend Mansu Primary School for four years before transferring to Yaksong Primary School. After which, he spent five years in Pyongyang Normal School, studying to be a teacher.<ref name="Paik 1992" /> However, in 1939, instead of becoming a teacher, he entered the Mukden Military Academy of [[Manchukuo]].

==Career==
===Early career===
After graduation from the Mukden Military Academy of [[Manchukuo]], Paik became a second lieutenant in the [[Manchukuo Imperial Army]] and was assigned to the [[Gando Special Force]], engaging in guerrilla suppression work in [[Jiandao]] (eastern Manchuria, Gando in Korean) as part of the Japanese campaign in northern China against the [[Eighth Route Army|8th Route Army]] of Communist China for ten months from 1944 to 1945 until its defeat by the [[Red Army]].<ref name="Paik 1992">Paik, Sun Yup (1992)</ref> 
After the end of [[World War II]], he returned to [[Pyongyang]] and started working as an assistant to [[Kim Ku]] (a leader of the Korean independence movement against the Empire of Japan). In December 1945, he fled south due to the rising communist's presence. After safely reaching [[South Korea]], he enlisted in the Constabulary, the predecessor of the [[Republic of Korea Army|ROK Army]], as a first lieutenant. In this role, he was tasked with suppressing communist guerrillas ([[Yeosu–Suncheon rebellion|the Yeosu–Suncheon rebellion]]). While undertaking this responsibility, he helped [[Park Chung Hee]], who was at the time being tried as a communist, by persuading President [[Syngman Rhee]] to commute his sentence and have him released. Paik eventually had him reinstated into the army during the Korean War.<ref name="Paik 1992" />
Before the outbreak of [[Korean War|the Korean War]], Paik was promoted to Colonel, from which he received the command of the 5th Infantry Division on July 30, 1949. Then on April 23, 1950, had his command transferred to the [[1st Infantry Division (South Korea)|1st Infantry Division]].<ref name="Paik 1992" />

===Korean War===
When the fighting broke out at 4:00 am on June 25, 1950, he was stationed in Seoul for officer training at the Infantry School. At 7:00 am, Paik was alerted to the invasion by the 1st Infantry Division's Chief of Staff.<ref name="Paik 1992" />
 
Upon receiving the alert, Paik reassumed command of the [[1st Infantry Division (South Korea)|1st Infantry Division]], which was involved in heavy fighting near [[Battle of Kaesong–Munsan|Kaesong and Munsan]]. After resisting the onslaught for three days, Paik received orders to stand his ground and fight to the last man. This was because the 1st Infantry Division was the only remaining obstacle between the North Korean People's Army and [[Seoul]]. However, after the fall of Seoul and due to the overwhelming offensive by North Korean armored units, he was forced into a fighting withdrawal. This is significant due to the fact that the 1st Division withdrew while maintaining its order of battle while fighting a delaying action. This led to Paik being promoted to Brigadier General on July 25, 1950.<ref name="Paik 1992" />
Paik then pulled back to the Nakdong River along the Pusan Perimeter, the last-ditch defense of the allied forces, on the southern tip of Korea. Here he commanded the RoK 1st Div., which was responsible for the holding of a 55-mile front on the northern boundary of the [[Battle of Pusan Perimeter|Pusan Perimeter]]. During which he was heavily supported by American units. Furthermore, it was during this desperate battle that he successfully commanded the first joint operation between Korean and American Forces.<ref name="Paik 1992" /> Though his lines were stretched thin during this battle, the RoK 1st Div. successfully held off against successive assaults by the [[Korean People's Army|Koreans People's Army's]] 2nd, 3rd, and 15th divisions. During this time, the RoK 1 Div. received adequate anti-tank weaponry, which allowed them to form ‘hunter-killer teams’ and destroy the North Korean's dreaded [[T-34|T-34-85 tanks]].<ref name="Paik 1992" />
In August 1950, Paik along with [[John H. Michaelis|Col. Michaelis]], commander of the US 27th regiment, led the breakout from the Pusan Perimeter northward. The [[Battle of Tabu-dong|battle of Dabu-dong]] is seen as one of the major turning points of the Korean War.<ref name="Paik 1992" />
 
The offensive northward was both rapid and brutal. However, it was during this phase of the war that Paik was honored with the recapture of both his birthplace and the capital of North Korea, [[Pyongyang]], on October 19, 1950.<ref name="Paik 1992" /> After spending several days securing the city, he was ordered further northward toward the [[Yalu River]], on the Chinese border. It was Paik who was one of the first commanders of the Allied nations to realize The People's Republic of China's intervention into the conflict. Paik, being fluent in Chinese, was personally able to interrogate the first Chinese prisoners of war who were captured; however, his warnings of the intervention went unheeded by the overall theater command, who did not believe that the PRC had entered the conflict.<ref name="Paik 1992" /> 
Later, once the threat of the Chinese was fully realized Paik would go on to assume command of the defense of northwestern Korea but was continuously pushed back both by the superior numbers and ferocity of the Chinese Second Phase Offensive. It was during this stage of the war that Paik was again promoted to the command of the ROK 1st Corp, which was tasked with the securing of eastern Korea. After he arrived to assume his new command, he found the ROK 1st Corp to be made up of green recruits and conscripts who had neither sufficient training nor battle experience; because of this, he would spend much of his early time at this post intensively training his men and fortifying the battle line.<ref name="Paik 1992" />

====Armistice Negotiations====
Armistice talks between the [[United Nations]] and the North Koreans and Chinese began in July 1951. Paik was selected as the South Korean representative. Paik was fundamentally opposed to the peace negotiations, fearing that it would lead to the abandonment of a unified Korea.<ref name="Encyclopia.com">((Cite web|date=2020-07-11|title=Encyclopedia.com Paik Sun-yup|url=https://www.encyclopedia.com/history/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/paik-sun-yup|access-date=2022-02-08|website=Encyclopedia.com))</ref>

By August, Paik was told to report back to the ROK I Corps where he oversaw the heavy fighting around the 38th parallel at the Punchbowl,<ref name="Encyclopia.com" /> a large crater surrounded by hills, and Heartbreak Ridge. His troops were now fighting a [[war of attrition]],<ref name="Encyclopia.com" /> with both the United Nations and the Communist digging in and ever more fortifying their positions. Just as with the trench warfare of the [[World War I|First World War]], the casualties were atrocious and there was little to show for the loss of life. In May 1952, Paik expressed to [[Dwight D. Eisenhower|President Eisenhower]] the strong opposition of the Korean people to an armistice.<ref name="Encyclopia.com" /><ref name="Paik 1992" /> However, due to the stagnation of the war, in the end the armistice was signed with Korea still Divided.<ref name="Encyclopia.com" /><ref name="Paik 1992" />

During the war, Paik did not make major mistakes,<ref name="Paik 1992" /> such as the disintegration of formations that plagued other commanders, as well as maintained a smooth relationship with the U.S. military officers.<ref name="Paik 1992" /> His actions and successes greatly contributed to the U.S. military's positive assessment of the [[Republic of Korea Army|ROK military]].<ref name="Paik 1992" /> This in turn, motivated the U.S. military command to recognize the ROK military as a useful ally in the then still developing [[Cold War|cold war]].<ref name="Paik 1992" />

In South Korea, President [[Lee Myung-bak|Lee Myung-Bak]] attempted to promote Paik Sun-yup to the position of the First Head of the ROK Armed Forces, but this was ultimately denied. 
Then in 2008, in the Pro-Japanese Personalities and People's Exhibition -published by the Institute for National Affairs- included Paik in the military section of prospective chinilpa candidates, due to his prior service in the [[Manchukuo Imperial Army]].

If implemented, Paik would have become South Korea's first Field-marshal, this however would not come to fruition.

On January 30, 2019, a group in consisting of retired South Korean generals of which Paik served as an advisor, released a statement criticizing the administration of South Korean President [[Moon Jae-in]] and the Comprehensive Military Agreement which was co-signed with North Korea at the [[September 2018 inter-Korean summit]] in Pyongyang.<ref>((cite web |title=Korean Retired Generals Defending the Nation Statements |url=https://eastasiaresearch.org/2019/02/03/korean-retired-generals-defending-the-nation-statements/ |website=East Asia Research Center |access-date=12 May 2019 |date=3 February 2019))</ref><ref>((cite web |last1=Shim |first1=Elizabeth |title=Retired South Korean generals: Our country is in 'crisis' |url=https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2019/01/30/Retired-South-Korean-generals-Our-country-is-in-crisis/2771548863958/ |website=UPI |access-date=12 May 2019 |language=en))</ref>
