Talk:Kim Hyong-jik

Why does the entry for Kim bo-hyun (his father) redirect back to this article? --Alexxx1 00:05, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

In the "The Idiot's Guide to Understanding North Korea", p.110, the author talks about a 1993 dinner he had with KIS in which he confirmed that his mother was a practicing Presbyterian. Tuncrypt 16:15, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Why is the Wikiepedia pro south Korean and pro American. The information here mostly comes from south Korean and American sources both hostile —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.154.25.248 (talk) 19:56, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * If North Korea actually put out any real information they'd be used as a source, as it is the only information out there is from the West. --70.145.76.243 (talk) 07:17, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Communist politician?
How could Kim Hyong-jik have been a communist politician as the page claims, if the DPRK was not established till years after his death? Is there something I'm missing? –Benjamin  02:02, 6 July 2016 (UTC)


 * The Communist Party of Korea was founded in 1925, the year before Kim's death, so it is possible that he was a Communist politician (of some kind), but I've removed this because there is no citation for the claim.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:17, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

General Sherman Incident
This occurred in 1866, so it would have been very difficult for Kim Bo-hyon (born 1871) to have been involved. Alekksandr (talk) 22:05, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Kim Bo-hyon redirected to this page
How would Kim Bo-hyon be redirected here when Kim Bo-hyon is the father of Kim Hyong-jik? — Preceding unsigned comment added by HanShizong1101 (talk • contribs) 03:16, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Communist?
I'm skeptical about the claim that he was a communist. Kim's parents were centrist Korean Christian nationalists. There was a whole period of time when Kim had friction with his family because of his increasingly communist beliefs while in China toobigtokale (talk) 01:30, 11 October 2023 (UTC)


 * You're right, of course. It seems tho that he's presented by DPRK historiography as a left-leaning patriot. MagnusRegnumAntichristiAdvenit (talk) 08:25, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
