Dear Comrade Leader Episode 303
‘Lee Seop-gi’, no, to call it a Joseon-style name that he prefers to be called more, ‘Lee Seop-gi’ was a human resource in a very unusual position as the North Korean intelligence agency that brought him in in the late 1990s.

No, in fact, despite the fact that it was brought in by the North Korean side, Lee Seop-gi defected to North Korea on his own feet and visited the Workers’ Party of Korea.In order to explain why he suddenly went to Yanbian, who was once engaged in underground political activities for ‘the independent reunification of the nation free from US imperial interference’ in South Korea and South Korea, it was necessary to turn the clock back and go to the 1990s.
– The leader of North Korea has changed to a young friend similar to our age. Will this Korean peninsula finally be reunified and free from the military and the American colonial powers behind it?
– No, listen for a second. I heard that North Korea is sending troops to the Iraqi Gulf War and fighting jointly with the US. What the hell is this? Will you help those American imperialists torment the innocent Iraqi people?
In the early 1990s, General Secretary Kim Jeong-hwan’s administration and opening policy, introduction of a market economy, and, above all, the establishment of diplomatic ties with the United States brought about the downfall of the NL world, which occupied a significant share in the movement at the time.
Until then, exchanges and communication between the two Koreas were very closed, and even a phone call with a North Korean citizen was arrested for violating the National Security Act. was far away
Of course, it is now known that North Korea during the Kim Il-sung-Kim Jong-il regime was also far from a socialist communist system, but it was the North’s steps after the establishment of the Kim Jung-hwan regime that shattered the expectations and fantasies of the NL members the most.
As soon as it opened up, the military dictatorship that trampled on the democratization of South Korea and Park Yi-sam, who seized power by joining forces with them, would drive out the nation’s long-cherished reunification, but it doesn’t seem like they have any interest in unification.
Wouldn’t it be nice to form a capital alliance with the modern group, a representative of the Korean chaebol, which is an exploitative sales capital, and to give them all kinds of preferential treatment in the name of market economy?
Moreover, what they couldn’t understand the most was that vicious fascist, who helped the US imperialists invade Iraq and then shake hands with the leader George Herbert Walker Bush and the spiritual and blood descendants of the Juche ideology (?) Kim Jung-hwan, which was broadcast live on TV. it was a situation
And it was only when they got there that those of the NL who had relatively good perception of reality lamented knowing that they had made a huge mistake so far.
-The socialist supreme paradise North Korea we knew is now dead, no! No, it may not have been like that… … !!!
-The day will never come when we will be liberated from the people’s revolution and the US colonial rule and set the banner of national independence and independence!
As the 21st century reached the eve of the early-mid 90s, when an oil refinery tower was built in North Korea, McDonald’s started business, and North Korean children began to wear Nike, most of the NLs went through ideological collapse and transformation into meaningful politics in South Korea. It has lost its influence as a force.
However, as always, when the chaff falls off, only kernels remain, and when a certain group is oppressed, only the fanatics who have strengthened their faith by packaging the oppression as ‘persecution’ remain. There were those who even committed it to North Korea.
Among the NL, they were the Juche ideology, that is, the Juche ideology that followed the ‘Suryong theory’ or ‘Juche ideology’ rather than ‘Socialism’, which dominated the leadership and had a proven ideological frame.
And in the late 1990s, as soon as the border between the two Koreas opened, the first to defect to North Korea was Lee Seop, the central figure among these sectarians who contacted the North Korean authorities saying, ‘The revolutionary fighters who were preparing for the underground revolution in South Korea want to see the general secretary in person.’ it was gimmick
“General Secretary Kim Jeong-hwan, a respected captain of the nation. It’s always been my dream to see him in person with my own eyes, but to see them in person across the border with my comrades is like Hahae!”
‘Ah, here’s a troublesome guy. Come to think of it, I forgot for a moment, but these yangbans were there.’
In 1998, after the financial crisis, the number one reason for Koreans who migrated from north to south was ‘economic circumstances’.
The withdrawal of US forces from Korea and the liberation of South Korea (that is, the unification of red fire) have been a long-awaited long-awaited dream within the Workers’ Party of Korea since the days of Kim Il-sung, and the return of the ‘local party members’ who were scheduled and planned to lead the day on the day of red and fire unification was a rapid change over the past decade. Despite the market economy, it was quite a moving moment for the party elders.
However, that is the story of some senior executives who have not yet completely drained the Juche ideology, and how should Lee Seop-gi and a group of jucheists just accept it to the cadres of the Thames River, who have already led the wave of capitalism at the forefront for the past 10 years? They were strange creatures.
In the case of Junghwan, who is the party and knows the reality of these anachronistic humans better than anyone else… … .
“Despite not saying anything, it seems that his leadership and majesty, and his contemplations on the fate of the people and the nation, seem to radiate from his eyes! If the general secretary entrusts me with the role of polishing the shoes on the journey towards national reunification, I will not hesitate to serve Gyeonmajiro… … .”
‘… … I’m crazy. How are you going to deal with these treasure troves?’
In the fall of 1998, Jeong-hwan sat in the secretary’s office with a confused look and looked at Lee Seop-gi, who was devoted to the praises of Jeong-hwan and North Korea.
Let’s say that returning people who have entered Korea on their own feet is bad at this time when inter-Korean exchanges have just begun, and let’s ignore or neglect it. They will say things that are difficult to deny or affirm from the Workers’ Party’s point of view like ‘the state’, but let’s take it seriously… … .
‘I don’t have any special skills or insight, and it’s plausible to say that I know how to do something about a subject that has deviated from reality about a billion light years because it’s fed up with authoritarianism, electoralism, double standards, extreme nationalism, and more extreme anti-American ideology. These fanatics, who have nothing but excess zeal to dazzle people by arranging their spears, are rumored to have done well by recycling them… … ?’
That was the dilemma that Jeong Hwan, no, the present North Korea and the Workers’ Party of Korea faced.
The Juche ideology, which Lee Seop-gi and others believe in, has been abolished in North Korea for a long time, and furthermore, socialism itself was planned to be left only in the constitutional text.
Moreover, in the case of anti-Americanism, which they believe in obsessively, comparable to, or perhaps even more than, the Juche ideology, from the standpoint of North Korea, which has decided to be incorporated into the first world order established by the United States after the end of the Cold War, it is never certain. It was the biggest reason not to raise it above the position.
However, saying that dog poop is also useful for medicine, Jeong-hwan soon found that Lee Seop-gi and the former South Korean sectarians based on his knowledge, based on objective reports, interrogation documents, and above all, that the General Reconnaissance General Bureau posted about them before he was allowed to have an interview with the general secretary. We succeeded in finding the ‘use’.
-They seem to be adept at packaging their ideas with the ideology of Juche ideology, socialism, and anti-imperialism, and even they themselves are deceived by the lies, but they occupy the largest share of their behavioral principles and are at the bottom of the spiritual world. What lurks behind is none other than ‘nationalism’.
-In a normal ideological classification, the shoguns belong to the extreme left, but they do not have the post-nationalism, pan-humanity, and equality of all peoples in common among the political forces generally classified as progressive. Humans obsessed with the desire for territorial expansion with a strong smell of pure blood theory, xenophobia, and conspiracy theories to the point of reminiscent of
-The reason why they are so obsessed with the slogan of national liberation and the unification of red flags is that the old North Korea, which follows ‘the purity of the Kim Il-sung nation,’ is close to the ideal state in their minds, not Korea, which realistically acknowledges the need for exchanges with foreign powers, and the Juche ideology. And the belief in the theory of the leader is also close to the psychology of waiting for ‘a superman riding a white horse who will lead the pure Korean people to the path of world hegemony’.
‘However, it is relatively friendly to China, which is a socialist country, but it is highly likely that they will soon abandon the camaraderie on the same ideological front as they do not have much interest in the Soviet Union, the cradle of Marxism… … Although he is from an intelligent background, his loyalty to the system, his ability to pretend he was ignorant of the system’s flaws, his zeal for preaching his own logic, and his desperate revenge against traitors are the best in the world. is a political officer or… … .’
“Lee Seop… … No, comrade Lee Seop-gi.”
“Yes, Comrade General Secretary!”
“It hurts my heart to think that you are making too much of an unreasonable demand from a comrade who was immersed in the underground revolution in South Korea, but… … Could you please devote yourself to building a more underground revolutionary organization?”
“… … Yes? Speaking of building an underground revolutionary organization… … .”
The face of Lee Seop-gi, who could not hide his excitement when he first met the Sun of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, whom he had admired so deeply, became a little perplexed.
In the meantime, you have struggled to fight against the oppression that prevents the liberation of your country while avoiding the eyes of the US imperialist government in South Korea.

No, before that, North and South had only changed their constitutions. In fact, it is an era in which they acknowledge each other’s existence.“I cannot guess what my comrade was saying. Please enlighten me… … .”
“I mean Yanbian, China, not South Korea. Can you take the lead in building a community for the Kim Il-sung people who are in a difficult situation due to the territoriality of the Han Chinese and spreading the ideology of the Workers’ Party of Korea? Oh, of course, I don’t mean to do it with bare hands like before, but there will be support from the party level. I promise that in the name of the general secretary.”
“… … .”
Why is it necessary to build an underground revolutionary organization in China, a socialist ally? Jung-hwan’s explanation followed by Lee Seop-gi, who tilted his head, was as follows.
The Republic of Korea and China are blood alliances that once joined hands to liberate south Korea from the American imperialists, but since Deng Xiaoping’s downfall, it seems that China is paying more attention to Chinese nationalism, not socialism, and the welfare of party officials.
Since Jiang Zemin, Shanghai Bang, and the Crown Prince Party came to power, this trend has intensified, bringing in US imperialist capital to rule the world in the name of reform and opening, and in return, party officials indulge in the feudal bourgeois game of rich and debauchery, resulting in dissatisfaction among the people. seems to be fading away with nationalist political incitement.
Chinese ideology and nationalism are ideological errors that move away from the fundamental cause of communism, which is the unity and liberation of all proletariats in all countries. I am worried that my compatriots will be subjected to unreasonable oppression.
“In other words, this is not a betrayal of our allies, but a measure of self-defense to protect our fellow countrymen. If Comrade Lee Seop-gi commits himself to this task, I will not only support the party secretly and militantly, but also grant him the Order of Heroes of the Republic himself and guarantee his position in the party.”
“Hey, is that true?”
If he seemed like a very bright person, even if he sincerely followed the ideology of the organization, he would have been dissatisfied with this organization’s treatment of sending him back to a rough land, like a frontier, after fighting for a long time in a foreign country.

No, even if you only knew a little bit of the actual political physiology, you would have realized that this measure was a demotion to send a person who was difficult to deal with as far as possible from the center of power, and realized that he had made a devotion that he had never received in return and would have been disappointed.However, for Lee Seop-gi himself, it was both good fortune and bad luck for both of them.
Anyway, fighting an ideological struggle in a poor environment was no different from before, and unlike the activities in south Korea, where it seemed that there was no echo even when called, now the general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea is the leader of the Workers’ Party, guaranteeing proper support and position, and Aren’t you tapping on ?
The preconceived notion that it would be as difficult as in South Korea no matter how difficult it is to work in China, a socialist country that is not the same in the United States, the aspiration for a position within the party, the justification for a tailored struggle to ‘liberate the oppressed national compatriots’, and the excitement of meeting the general secretary in person Lee Seop-gi It was the driving force that made him nod his head vigorously on the spot.
“I’ll do it! Let me and my comrades become one gun bomb at the forefront of the leader, the Party and national liberation!”
“It is truly a thrilling feeling. It is rare to see such disinterested party and distribution even here within the Party Central Committee of the Republic.”
‘I dealt with an annoying bastard with this. I’ll have to see what they do in the future, but I’d be happy if I could go and help organize a pro-republic network among the local Korean-Chinese… … If you go back later and cause problems… … Well, it’s okay if we cut it off because it’s difficult to deal with because it’s our child.’
Like someone who puts long-lived emergency food in the corner of a closet in preparation for a possible disaster like this, Jeong-hwan, who sent Lee Seop-gi and the former sectarians out of the republic, soon forgot their existence.
At that time, it was a time to focus on economic growth rather than long-term goals such as advancing into Yanbian for the influence of the Republic. Since they were human beings who would be immersed in praise, they judged that there is a sufficient possibility of being absorbed into China and disappearing.
However, it was years later that Jung-hwan realized that he had overestimated the (in a bad sense) potential of Lee Seop-gi and a group of shoguns, the survival ability that rivaled cockroaches, and the ability to recruit ‘believers’ that surpassed any pseudo-religion. .
History began to roll in a different direction in earnest.
