Biography
[edit]Kim was born on 12 June 1916 in the Mangyongdae neighborhood of Pyongyang, when the peninsula was still under Japanese rule. His parents were Kim Hyong-jik, a Korean independence activist, and mother, Kang Pan-sok. His two brothers were Kim Il Sung, the first supreme leader of North Korea, and Kim Yong-ju, who became Honorary Vice President of the country's Supreme People's Assembly. Kim's family originated from Jeonju, North Jeolla. His paternal great-grandfather Kim Ŭngu settled in Mangyongdae in 1860. Kim was raised in a Christian family, specifically following the Presbyterian denomination. His maternal grandfather was a Protestant minister, and his father attended a missionary school. Kim's family participated in anti-Japanese activities and fled to Manchuria in 1920, like most Korean families, to escape famine and Japanese oppression during the Japanese occupation of Korea.[2][3]
Kim became an active member of the Saenal Youth Union, Korea's first revolutionary youth organization. He later joined the Young Communist League. He died in battle on 14 June 1935.[4] He is buried in the Taesongsan Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery. The Kim Chol Ju Teaching University is named after him.[3]
