Kim Shin Jo is a born-again Presbyterian minister â the gentle leader of his church. But the 79-year-old is best known by history as a trained killer. In January 1968, he and 30 others slipped from North Korea into Seoul to kill the South Korean president in what became known as the Blue House raid. His group made it within a few hundred meters of the presidentâs residence before being confronted by a South Korean police officer. In the ensuing gunfight, more than 30 South Koreans were killed. He was the face of evil and terror for a generation of Koreans â a North Korean commando fighter who came into Seoul to assassinate the South Korean president at the time, Park Jung Hee.
