간첩 벌벌 떨게 한 전설적 대공수사관 '김호익 총경' ... 지금 우리가 그의 일기를 다시 펼쳐봐야 하는 이유 [호준석의 역사전쟁 EP.13]

The assassination of Superintendent Kim Ho-ik, a counterintelligence investigator, shook South Korea in 1949. The assassination of Superintendent Kim Ho-ik was a symbolic event that demonstrated the South Korean Workers' Party's organized terrorism targeting the nation's core. Kim Ho-ik, a counterintelligence investigator who relentlessly pursued the National Assembly spy case and exposed the true nature of the South Korean Workers' Party, was shot and killed by South Korean Workers' Party member Lee Yong-un in his Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency surveillance office on August 12, 1949, less than two months after the incident. Kim Ho-ik, then a young investigator at the age of 31, dealt a fatal blow to the communist movement through his investigations into the National Assembly spy case, international espionage cases, and the arrests of the South Korean Workers' Party's special organization and the People's Affair Agency. The perpetrator, Lee Yong-un, claimed that "the People's Republic would soon be established," but his conviction was ultimately shattered by history, and he was executed just over a month after the incident. The video reveals the full story of Superintendent Kim Ho-ik's assassination, along with the realities and beliefs of the counterintelligence investigators captured in his investigative diary, and illuminates the true nature of the systemic crisis facing South Korea immediately after liberation. It reflects on the choices and resolve of the young investigators who sacrificed themselves anonymously to make today's South Korea what it is today.
