Kim Yong-bom

Kim Yong-bom (18 August 1902 – 7 September 1947) was a North Korean revolutionary and politician who led the Communist Party between 1945 and 1947.

In the early 1930s, Kim studied at the Communist University of the Toilers of the East in Moscow, where he met the communist and feminist organizer Pak Chong-ae. Kim and Pak would return to Korea in 1932 "in disguise as a couple" and later went on to marry. He was made Secretary of the North Korean Branch Bureau of the Communist Party of Korea in 1945 after the assassination of Hyŏn Chunhyŏk. This makes Kim the first leader of the current-day Workers' Party of Korea.
