Lee Bo-ik (Korean: 리보익; May 31, 1876 - October 18, 1959), grandmother of Kim Il-sung,[1] chairman of the DPRK, and great-grandmother of Kim Jong-il, the general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea. She was a farmer from Pyongyang, South Pyongan Province, North Korea, and the wife of Kim Bo-hyǒn, who was also a farmer.
Life
[edit]She was born on May 31, 1876 in Pyongyang, South Pyongan Province.
She eventually married Kim Bo-hyon, a farmer, and gave birth to three sons and three daughters: eldest son Kim Hyong-jik (father of Kim Il-sung), second son Kim Hyongnok, third son Kim Hyong-gwon, eldest daughter Kim Gu-il, second daughter Kim Hyong-sil, and third daughter Kim Hyong-bok.[2][3]
On June 4, 1937, the Battle of Pochonbo occurred in Kapsan County, South Hamgyong Province. Later, Kim Young-ju, who worked as an interpreter for the Japanese army, learned that the mastermind of the attack was his brother Kim Il-sung. In order to gain Kim Yong-ju's cooperation, Japan handed over his grandmother.[4][5]
On August 15, 1945, her grandson Kim Il-sung returned to China from the Soviet Union.
Death and Legacy
[edit]She died on October 18, 1959, at the age of 83 and a statue in her honor stands at the Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery.[6]
