Kim Shin-Jo

This is a Korean name; the family name is Kim.

Kim Shin-Jo is one of two survivors, and the only one captured by South Korean forces, of a 31-person team of North Korean commandos sent to assassinate the then president of South Korea, Park Chung Hee, in the 'Blue House Raid' in January 1968.[1][2] After the failed attempt, he was interrogated for a year by the South Korean authorities before being released. After he became a citizen of South Korea in 1970, his parents were executed and his relatives purged by the North Korean authorities.[3][4] Kim later became a pastor at Sungrak Sambong church in Gyeonggi-do.
