Dear Comrade Leader, Episode 331
Later story of the abduction (before)
-Then, everyone, I will leave the ‘People Kim Jeong-hwan’ alone. Goodbye.
In October 2018, exactly 30 years after taking office, Kim Jeong-hwan, general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea, retired like this.
However, a little more explanation is needed about the major events that took place after that and the personal histories of those left behind, as well as the roles and changes they played in the process of North-South unification over the next several years and even now.
Although there is a sense that the historical leader Kim Jeong-hwan has left behind in the history of the Korean Peninsula, there is a sense of being overshadowed by the individual Labor Party executives who served him at the time. because it left
The former head of the Propaganda and Agitation Department, the first female leader of the Workers’ Party of Korea, and the second general secretary, Hyun Young-suk, have been working on re-establishing the founding of the Workers’ Party of Korea as Kim Du-bong (金枓奉), the first Presidium Chairman of the Supreme People’s Assembly, rather than Kim Il-sung, after taking office. devoted all his efforts
And this de-idolization project was successfully completed, helping to further separate the organization called the Workers’ Party of Korea and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea from Kim Il-sung and his family.
The establishment and promotion of the North-South Joint History Textbook Writing Committee is one of her representative achievements during her tenure as the second general secretary.
After Kim Myung-ae’s death as general secretary, she resigned as the chairman of the Korean Women’s Alliance, which was at the crossroads of the survival of the organization after Kim Myung-ae’s death.
He remained single until the day he died, and when someone later asked why he had avoided marriage for the rest of his life, he said, ‘I didn’t really avoid marriage. It is said that the only thing in his life that he had a crush on was that his secretary took first.”
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Prime Minister Kim Yong-geon were elected as the chairman of the Joint Constitutional Assembly of the South and the North for the establishment of the first unification constitution and participated in the enactment of the unification constitution.
Later, at national cemeteries in North Korea, such as the Tomb of the Revolutionary Martyrs of Daeseongsan Mountain, where the “heroes of the Liberation War of South Korea” are buried, “peace” is a “peaceful” reclassification of anti-Japanese independence activists and war criminals, or both, with the South Korean side. and the Special Standing Committee for Remembrance of History.
Even there, he exhibited a skillful and balanced sense of diplomacy, reflecting both sides of the South and North Korea’s positions, so that sensitive historical issues such as ‘pro-Japanese’ and ‘Korean War heroes’, ‘socialist-oriented independence activists’ and ‘history of sympathizing with the South’ were complicated like a thread. It is praised by future generations for successfully solving the problem of national memorial facilities.
Currently, the Korean Cemetery and the tombs of the victims of the North Korean war are integrated into the ‘National Cemetery of the War Dead’, all achievements are recorded on the tombstones of each person, and the ‘Korean War Victims Memorial Museum’ was built on the site of the old tombs. It’s an achievement.
In addition, his son and grandson both devoted themselves to politics, and were elected to the National Assembly of the Unification National Assembly, which consists of the former North Korea region and Yanbian region, respectively, and the whole family is reborn as a political elite.
Baek Seung-cheol, chief of the General Staff of the Korean People’s Army, served in the Korean People’s Army until the age of nearly 80.
Jeonghwan, who was about to take off his military uniform to be discharged from the military at the same time as when Jeonghwan retired, remained in the military until such a late age, at the request of his successors that he needed someone who could represent the position of the Korean People’s Army in the process of consolidation and abolition of the Korean People’s Army and the ROK Armed Forces. it was
In return, Baek Seung-cheol accepted the request and stipulated that the newly established army would certainly accept the principle of civilian control. It gave me an opportunity to join the military.
In addition, he directly criticized some generals in the South Korean military (along with the former president who was sitting next to him), who secretly criticized the establishment of civilian control in the process of consolidating the military between the two Koreas and preparing for the establishment of an army. One thing went viral.
He advocated the establishment of the ‘Northern Strategic Defense Command’ jointly with the land, sea, and air to defend and establish control over Yanbian Special Self-Governing Province. left behind
He is the longest surviving figure among the leaders of North Korea during the Kim Jeong-hwan period, such as attending a ceremony to commemorate the founding of the unified army by living a long life of over 90 years of age. Even after the rank of rank was officially abolished, he was nicknamed ‘the last rank’.
Choi Seung-il, president of Peony Holdings, was one of the first executives to step down after Jeong-hwan left office, but he stayed there for several more years after he announced his intention to resign due to dissatisfaction with the people around him.
And during those years, Choi Seung-il, along with the governors of the Central Bank of Korea and the Bank of Korea, led the negotiation of a currency unification between the North Korean Won and the Korean Won, leading to the establishment of a North-South Unified Central Bank to issue a single currency during the unification transition period that will continue for the next 20 years. .
In addition, with the capital of Peony Holdings and Korea National Oil Corporation, it worked on a project to integrate large and small private banks in the north and south into one large international private investment bank through privatization and mergers and acquisitions.
It was one of the precautionary measures to prevent confusion such as the stability of the won and currency consolidation, which had fluctuated for quite a long time during and after the North Manchurian War, as well as possible inflation.
When he was convinced that the monetary stability and financial sovereignty of the new unified nation had risen to a certain level, Choi Seung-il resigned from the front line without any regrets, taking only the honorary post of advisor to the board of directors.
After retirement, he devoted himself to the establishment of a nursing hospital and rehabilitation center for the victims of the correctional center, which he and his daughter had been promoting with his daughter. dedicated
Although Antonov retired as president of the Chosun Aeronautical College after retiring as director of the Advanced Aircraft Research Institute, Jeonghwan Kim, he continued to be active after that, including participating in joint R&D projects with KAI.
He retired from designing and manufacturing military aircraft due to his aging brain, but played a major role in establishing and consulting the first private aircraft joint venture on the Korean Peninsula, which was created after unification, a merger of an affiliate of Pohang Steel and the privatized Chosun Air Corporation on the Korean Peninsula. did
Because he was still on a weekly basis, he suffered from health problems in his later years, but after rehabilitation and treatment, he regained his health and left for Jeju Island for recuperation.
At the time of retiring with congratulations from the Kim Jeong-hwan Institute, as part of his severance pay, he requested that he personally own the ‘Andu’ and An-2 biplanes, which were still in storage at the Air Force Museum of the Korean People’s Army at the time, and this request was fulfilled as it was. He even showed off a travel tour or Noikjang where he flew by biplane from Pyongyang to Jeju Island.
After the retirement of the general secretary, Ri Kyung-soo, the current head of the anti-corruption investigation department, took the position of deputy head of the Organizational Guidance Department of the Workers’ Party of Korea and gained experience in central politics by assisting general secretary Hyun Young-sook. led the republic.
Little by little, but surely, in North Korea in 2028, when democracy was firmly established, the coalition government was able to smoothly coordinate the political struggle between the Workers’ Party of Korea, which was still the leading party, but gradually lost its seats, and the Democratic Socialist Party of Korea, the first opposition party, which was gaining more and more power day by day. According to historians, the establishment of the .
He served as the chairman of the Senate during the first North-South and North-South integration two houses elected in proportion to the population in each region of the Korean Peninsula, representing the interests of the people of the Republic until the end. It was also his achievement to change the name to ‘Joseon National Socialist Party’.
Kim Young-il, the brother-in-law of the general secretary and the first head of the Anti-Corruption Investigation Bureau, was sentenced to 10 years in prison with the possibility of parole at the trial.
In the Kwanliso, he took up golf as a hobby, and recently he has been concentrating on reducing the number of strokes, and recently he was allowed to visit his family.
At the end of his term as general secretary Hyun Young-suk, the first governor of Yanbian, Lee Seop-gi, challenged the position of general secretary by gathering votes from party members with extreme nationalism and Juche ideology, which had remained in the minority until then. That number is still small.
Former South Korean presidents Lee Hyeon-chang and Roh Yun-hyeon both wrote autobiographies and spent their quiet later years farming in rural areas, but Chun Doo-hwan did not receive a pardon and died in prison.
In this way, the large stream of history, in which the tributaries of individual history were combined, flowed and flowed like flowing water, when unification was completed and the first manned spacecraft launched from the Raseon Space Center landed on the moon, and a president from Gaeseong Express City was elected. , people began to forget the past little by little.
As if proving that humans are animals of oblivion, the children born every year are from the fact that the two Koreas once waged a war, the fact that the country was divided and confronted militarily across the armistice, The news of the president appeared at the beginning of the news, and he began to forget that there were people of Baekdu bloodline and so on.
However, despite this, it is not an exaggeration to say that the name of Comrade Kim Jeong-hwan, the person who had the greatest influence on the establishment of this new Korean Peninsula and the ‘people’ living there, is still forgotten for only a few decades. It was too short a time.
Rather, he is reevaluated day by day, revised editions of his biography are published, and his decisions and convictions are spoken by so many people, not only historians, but also numerous magistrates, magnates, and junior politicians who struggle to write impressive candidacy manuscripts. got off
And there was a mystery that almost all of the posterity who investigated this outstanding figure Kim Jung-hwan would encounter in common when looking back on his youth, to be more precise, when he was younger than 25 years old.
-A mature tree is said to be green from the cotyledon, and when you look at your teenage years to your 20s, most great men show some extraordinary at that time, or at least decide the direction of their lives, even if they see the light a little later. However, the witnesses around the person named Kim Jeong-hwan in their teens and twenties, who were in the period of formation of the personality in question, and their actions are very different from those after the age of 25.
-Even if the era is the era and the place is a place, so the data isn’t very rich, it’s almost as good as someone else’s! What the hell happened in the spring of his 25-year-old? It is a delusion that any serious historian must avoid, but he suddenly met a mountain spirit from Mt. Baekdu in a dream, and internally, his father and half-brother’s regressive one-man worship system, and externally his country, which was in a state of exhausting and hostile coexistence with Korea. Did you mean that you were given a mission to rescue them?
And the historians who have been scratching their heads at these unresolved questions will go crazy and jump when they find out the truth, but strictly speaking, if the mystery of this universe is that the joking conjecture that the mountain god of Mt.

-The people of this republic are being deceived by my father. This is the People’s Republic of Korea, a prison without bars, a hell without an exit, and a huge correctional center with no escape. And it was none other than me, Kim Jeong-hwan’s father, and half-brother, Comrade Kim Il-sung, Comrade Kim Jong-il who made this republic that way. How long will this atrocious system last and how will I get out of here? … .
March 1985, Pyongyang, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
Kim Jeong-hwan, the unknown illegitimate son of President Kim Il-sung, the living newcomer of the republic, typed this far, sighed a little inside, and looked around in awe.
The current time is 10 p.m., a time when there is no one around to hear it, but the caution or servility that permeated into the body like a second nature for survival from childhood did not go anywhere.
This was the case even though there was no one left except him in the dark data search room where Kim Jung-hwan was sitting alone, quietly with a reading lamp in the corner, as well as in the entire building of the huge learning center.
‘No, come to think of it, there are not many.’
At that time, when he suddenly remembered the existence of someone he had left from work a few hours ago, Kim Jung-hwan smiled bitterly in his heart.
Perhaps the boss who treats her like this in so many ways, no, the name of the woman who almost died from bothering the person being monitored is Yoo Hye-rim.
She was the only secretary, bodyguard, driver, and watchdog of Kim Jeong-hwan, one of the many illegitimate children of President Kim Il-sung (who certainly does not know the exact number).
And since childhood, Kim Jung-hwan, who was in a lonely situation, who could neither get closer nor further than necessary, from all other peoples of the republic, was the only woman with the exception of her mother who secretly felt an emotional bond in her heart.
