It was the first-ranked chapter on the "It was a popular page yesterday, 4/17/2018" that we sent out yesterday.
No media outlet in the country mentions this self-proclaimed "military comfort woman" agent.
2018/04/16.
This chapter proved that now, the truth is on the Internet.
I re-read this column, thinking it was great.
Then, I searched for further confirmation and became even more convinced that the truth was on the Internet.
It is because the article about Ri Seong-sil is a fact that people who subscribe to the Asahi Shimbun and watch NHK would never know.
The following is a continuation of the previous chapter.
After returning to Japan, she immediately wrote a letter to her sister, saying she would eventually like to live in her hometown.
Six months later, she returned to South Korea with many souvenirs, stayed at her sister's house for a month, and even went on a 3-day/2-night trip to Jeju Island with her sister's children and their parents, deepening her friendship.
After April 1979, he returned to North Korea on a spy ship and stayed there for about four months, reporting on his past activities and discussing future missions.
In September 1979, Ri Seong-sil visited South Korea again and asked his sister's son's wife to find him a suitable house in Seoul.
She had sold her house in Japan and got 10 million yen.
She accepted the offer, visited several real estate agents, and ultimately purchased a house in Seoul.
It became her hideout in Korea.
Permanent Return" to Korea
In March 1980, she returned to Korea after sending a large number of gifts from Japan to her "sister" and her family, including a refrigerator, television, motorcycle, electric rice cooker, and sewing machine.
This time, she went into hiding for a long period of time.
She did not stay long at her sister's house but registered as a resident.
At the time, her sister's eldest son was the Jeonju Branch Office office manager in Peace-dong.
With his recommendation, she quickly registered under the name of "Shin Sun-jo," and her impersonation was completed.
After her "permanent return," she immediately moved to a house in Dongjak-gu, Seoul, which she had previously purchased, changed her name to her own, and changed her permanent address from Jeollabuk-do to her new address.
After a year of no public activities, in November 1981, he went to Youngdong Church in Seoul and asked the church steward for advice on how to adopt a daughter.
After a while, he was introduced to a 53-year-old woman who worked as an insurance salesman, and he adopted her as his adopted daughter.
It was a safety measure in case of emergency.
Meanwhile, she accumulated money by purchasing and reselling real estate in the name of her sister's children and her adopted daughter. Furthermore, she increased her funds by lending high-interest rates to her adopted daughter's acquaintances.
In October 1980, she was elected a Political Bureau and the Central Committee member at the Sixth Party Congress.
In November 1981, she was awarded the First Class of the Order of the National Flag.
Ri Seong-sil, who established a hideout in Seoul, carried out his activities until 1990 with the operative goal of "forming an underground organization in South Korea and developing subversive activities to disrupt South Korea.
Four agents dispatched from North Korea ("Ren," "Choi," "Ri," and Ri Heung-bae) controlled a South Korean, Kim Nak-jung.
Another group of four (Gon Jung-hyun, Kim Dong-ui, Ri Tong-jin, and an unnamed woman) organized and kept under control South Koreans Sun Byung-seon and Hwang In-wo, thus leading around ten subordinates in their operative activities.
Consultations with agents dispatched from North Korea were held in Japan, not South Korea, where security was tight.
The adopted daughter visited Japan a total of four times, under such pretexts as "to see her brother in Kobe" and "to buy medicine for gastritis.
She spent ten years organizing an underground party, using the funds she was given and the abundant funds she earned herself.
In addition, since 1989, she has been using two different names, "Lee Seon-hwa from Jeju" and "Shin Sun-jo from Wanju.
Hwang In-wo, the leader of the April 1980 Sabok coal mine disturbance, was sentenced to prison.
Still, he had two younger brothers, both of whom had been arrested for radical activities while attending Seoul National University.
Ri Seong-sil learned that Hwang In-wo and his brothers' mother, Jeon Jae-soon, were involved with the Council of Family Movement for Democracy in Practice (Minjikyo) and approached this organization, claiming that she had participated in the Korean independence movement during the Japanese imperialist era, that she was a relative of a victim of the 1948 Jeju Island 4-3 Incident, and that her son was involved in the 1968 Unification Revolutionary Party Incident.
She then offered to donate the money she had saved from running her own restaurant to the Korean democratization movement.
She donated an expensive photocopier and a large amount of cash to the Minju Party, an innovative political party recommended by the Nationalist Party of Korea.
Lee Seon-hwa, who was widely introduced as "Volunteer Lee Seon-hwa" by the leadership of the Minju Party, openly participated in meetings as a sympathizer of the Minkyakyo and the Minsubu Party.
She naturally approached Jeon Jae-soon and offered to be his son's backer.
Jeon Jae-soon, who was told that he could adopt his son if he agreed and that she could even give him all her property after her death, gave him his son's contact information and personally recommended that he call and meet "Halmoni Lee" once.
Yi Seon-hwa thus met with Hwang In-go as Yi Seon-hwa and introduced him to his subordinate Gwon Jung-hyun, whom she wanted him to meet.
Gwon boldly revealed that he was an agent from the North, persuaded Hwang In Go, and succeeded in making him an agent of the North.
Hwang received spy training from young North Korean agents at a children's park in Seoul and on the banks of the Han River and joined the Workers' Party of Korea.
In September 1990, Gong Jung-hyun ordered Hwang In-woo to go to North Korea, and in October, he was to enter the North on a spy ship from Ganghwado.
Waiting for him on Ganghwado was Ri Seon-hwa (Ri Sun-sa) and his subordinate Kim Dong-ui.
Kim Dong-suk, who was in his 20s and lived with 75-year-old Ri Seong-sil for six months in 1990, posing as "grandmother and grandson.
On October 17, 1990, Ri Seong-sil secretly escaped South Korea on Kim Dong-Uk's back and returned to North Korea in a semi-submersible boat.
Upon his return to the DPRK, Hwang In Wo was assigned to establish the Central Regional Party of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).
The Order of "Hero of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
Meanwhile, Ri Sun-min was elected as a delegate to the 7th term of the Supreme People's Assembly in February 1982 (he has been continuously elected to 10 terms since then).
In April of the same year, on the occasion of Kim Il-sung's 70th birthday, he was awarded the Order of Kim Il-sung and a gold watch engraved with his name, and in September, he received the Order of the Liberation of the Nation.
In August 1985, she was awarded the Order of the National Flag, 1st class, and the Commemorative Medal for the Liberation of the Fatherland.
In December 1986, she was awarded the Order of Effort.
In May 1990, she was awarded the highest honor, the Hero of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Return to Japan and Tortured to Death
After returning to Korea, she continued to rise and prosper.
Already in 1971, her husband, Kim Tae-jong, had moved to the North with their adopted daughter after hearing of her power, and the latter had married a high-ranking North Korean official.
Her mother in Jeju Island had not known about her daughter's safety for many years.
When she asked a childhood friend about her safety in 1991, the friend told her that she had had an opportunity to travel to North Korea and had learned through others that she had risen very high in the North.
In January 1991, Kim Il Sung met with the vice chairman of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan and the co-chairman of the Pan-national Union for the Reunification of the Fatherland (Korean version) (Panminren), and Ri Seong-sil attended the meeting.
The same month, she was appointed vice-chairman of the Korean National Democratic Front, primarily responsible for the secret operations section against the South.
In April 1992, she attended Kim Il Sung's 80th birthday banquet as a candidate member of the Workers' Party of Korea's Political Bureau.
In September of the same year, on the 44th anniversary of the founding of the DPRK, the North Korean "Labor Newspaper" listed Ri Seong-sil as the 22nd candidate of the Politburo.
She served as a member of the State Funeral Committee at the time of Kim Il Sung's death in 1994 and again at the death of Marshal Wu Zhenyu in 1995.
In 2000, she was sent to a concentration camp and tortured to death in the "Deepening Team Incident," a significant purge by Kim Jong-il and his confidant Jang Song-thaek
She was later reinstated under the direction of Kim Jong-il and buried at the Mausoleum of the Patriotic Insurgents in Pyongyang.
