Kim Shin-jo (; born June 2, 1942) is one of two survivors of the 31-man team of North Korean commandos, known as Unit 124, sent to assassinate the then-president of South Korea, Park Chung-hee, in the Blue House raid in January 1968.[1]
The only other survivor, Pak Jae-gyong, made it back to North Korea, but Kim Shin-jo was captured by South Korean forces. He was interrogated for a year by the South Korean authorities before being released and becoming a citizen of South Korea in 1970. South Korea claimed when North Korean authorities found out that he became a South Korean citizen, his parents were executed and his relatives purged by North Korean authorities.[2] [3]
Kim later became a pastor at Sungrak Sambong church in Gyeonggi Province. He has a wife and two children.[4]
