# Kim Won-bong

> Kim Wŏnbong, also known by his art name was Yaksan, was a Korean independence activist, anarchist militant and politician. In 1919, Kim established the Heroic Corps, an anarchist group which carried out a six-year campaign of attacks against Japanese officials. In 1935, he established the Korean National Revolutionary Party, which formed part of a united front with other Korean radical groups, and commanded its military detachment, the Korean Volunteer Corps. After the liberation of Korea, he initially moved to South Korea, but defected to North Korea after receiving death threats from members of the Syngman Rhee government. He then served in the 1st Cabinet of North Korea as head of the State Inspection Commission and Minister of Labor. After the Korean War, the North Korean government accused him of subversive activities and purged him.
