  The North Korean 'Spy Sub' Incident Revisited
However, the South Korean media have noted the suspicious nature of Robert Kim's arrest, which came right after the North Korean submarine infiltration incident, in view of the revelation that the FBI had spent a minimum of six months closely watching Kim by videotaping his office, tapping his phone, and screening his mail.
Robert Kim testified: "Because there was a request from Captain Paek, about three days later, I informed him by phone of intelligence related to the submarine incident." Because the content of the conversation was itself regarded as a national secret, it is judged that it was omitted when documents were submitted to the court.
Kim testified as follows regarding the submarine incident which changed his fate: "at the request of Captain Paek, I used the ONI computer to check all intelligence from right before the submarine incident was revealed to the media until three days before I was arrested.

  Sensei's Library: Korean name
Korean names, like names in many other East Asian countries, begin with the family name and end with the given name.
Koreans often romanize personal names and names of companies in ad-hoc manners; romanized names tend to reflect personal preference instead of specific romanization styles.
The normal word for 'name' in general is 'ireum.' 'Seongmyeong' is a polite way of saying 'name,' as when asking an older person for their name, or as used in forms and documents.

While Kim was not close with his brothers, their deaths appeared to deepen his ties with Korean guerrilla groups who were receiving training from Chinese communist forces to fight against the Japanese.

During Kim's five-year stay in the Soviet Union, he trained with Soviet and Chinese military specialists and married Kim Chong-suk, the eldest daughter of a poor farmer from Manchuria and a "fellow partisan." The couple had two sons, Kim Jong Il and Kim P'yong Il, and one daughter, Kim Kyong Hui, whose whereabouts are unknown.

 Korean Names
Also, when people with only given names (lower class, and domestic slaves) were allowed to use (or to buy) family names, they preferred to use one out of existing names instead of creating new and thereby recognizable names for their own benefit.
So, even though over half of Koreans have Kim, Lee, Park, Choi, or Chung as their last name, as far as marriage is concerned, what matters is which clan you belong to.
Since a generational name is not a middle name in American sense, and not exactly a given name either, Koreans are not sure how to anglicize their names.

Between 1945 and 1970 Kim had continued his education in Korea, fought in the Korean War (on the side of South Korea), attended Middlebury College, and written several novels about the Korean War; in 1970 he was teaching in the English Department at the University of Massachusetts (he wrote Lost Names in English).
Lost Names is useful in my course in part because much of what the students hear from me (especially in contrast with Ienaga’s book) is sympathetic to the Japanese—not in their treatment of Koreans but in relation to their struggle with American power.
Events described in the book may have happened to Koreans, but it is implausible to have one family continually shake the foundations of Japanese occupation in one town without being ousted or "disappeared"—especially when the Thought Police knew the narrator’s father organized a resistance in the past.

Kim is seeking Bush's support for his "sunshine" policy of engagement with North Korea at what appears to be a crucial juncture in Northeast Asian diplomacy.
Kim, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last year largely for his rapprochement efforts with the communist North -- his so called "sunshine" policy-- received strong support from Bush's predecessor, Bill Clinton, during his time in office.
The South Korean Foreign Ministry later said that because Seoul supports the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty -- which Russia argues outlaws missile defenses like the one proposed by Bush -- it does not mean that it opposes the NMD.
