South Korean Controversy: Was Kim Won Bong a Patriot?

[soryang]

4. I took a look at the wiki entry on Ho and saw a link to the Korean provisional government

"As discovered in 2018, Quốc (Ho) also had relations with the members of Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea like Kim Kyu-sik while in Paris.[28]"

So I took a look at Kim Kyu-sik's Wikipedia topic and found that he was vice-president of the provisional government of Korea in exile in China, and active in the Korean independence movement over a long period. Further:

"The Korean National Revolutionary Party was formed in Shanghai in 1935 through a grouping of nationalist Korean parties. Organizers were Kim Kyu-sik, Kim Won-bong and Cho Soang.[2]"

Kim Kyu-sik apparently tried to appeal for Korean independence at the Versailles conference. This Korean independence movement leader was fluent in English and remarkably apparently learned English by his association with the author of one of the first Korean English dictionaries, (I don't know if I still have my copy) H.G. Underwood.
