Yi Seong-gye was 190cm tall
Machine translated

I heard that back in those days, the average height for men is estimated to be around 160cm or even less.
Even looking at North Korean men today, many are around 160cm. It seems it's true that people then and now fail to grow due to malnutrition.
If Yi Seong-gye was 190cm, and he would have been walking around armed as a military official...
I wonder if he would have felt like Choi Hong-man to the common people of that era.
When I saw Choi Hong-man in person, the sense of intimidation was insane, even though I'm not exactly short myself.
