 Korean Names
Kim, is identified as 'Kim Young Sam' not as 'Young Sam Kim.' We use last (family) name first and given names second.
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.
She might be using the name Hyun Sil Kim Lee or Hyun Kim Lee, which annoys the heck out of me. I have seen some hyphernated last names also.

Kim came to Seattle only a few months after his release from solitary confinement in one of Chun Doohwan and Roh Taewoo's jails, and only a little more than a year since those two ex-generals had been forced by world public opinion to cancel their plans to execute him.
In 1983 Kim told us that when he became president (I remember distinctly that he said when, not if), one of the first steps he would take would be to pardon those who had jailed him and sentenced him to death, and had sent troops against unarmed demonstrators in Kwangju.
Kim realized as far back as 1983 that we must work with those who have wronged us to ensure that both we and they will do what is right in the future.

The administration of President Kim Dae-jung has a strong belief in freedom of the press and has never criticized the press for posing "a threat and obstacle to further democratization," as you claimed.
However, the Kim Youngsam government did not unveil the result of the audit and was criticized for using the process for an ulterior purpose of controlling the media.
President Kim Youngsam had made an announcement at the time that evidences of corruption were found as a result of the audit and that the amounts of tax evasion by the newspaper companies were too vast to fully recover.

Also in a letter to the French actress and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot who is openly critical of the consumption of meat from dogs, Kim said that he would initiate an international debate on the culture of eating meat from dogs.

In education, the missionaries were the first to establish a complete system of education, from kindergarten to college, and they were the first to implement modern curriculum, including modern science and medical science, in schools.
The prominence of Christians at all levels of government, paralleled by the conspicuous presence of Christians in the academic, economic and social leadership, continued unabated for the next three decades.
In particular, the election of Kim Youngsam, a Presbyterian elder, as the nation's president in 1993 is a compelling manifestation of the vitality of Christianity in South Korea.

Since taking office in February, President Kim has eased South Korean access to the North Korea by abolishing a ceiling on investment, easing regulations on trade and lifting a ban on visits by head of large corporations.
You might think the North would be grateful to Kim, but it is always fearful that the United States and South Korea are conspiring against it.
So while Kim was in Washington, the North Korean state broadcasts called him "a nation-seller down to the bone." This is familiar pattern.

"President Kim YoungSam should apologize to 12 million workers," KCTU President Kwon Yong Gil thundered to a crowd of 25,000 workers from around the country on the fifth day of the strikes.
One day before workers planned to begin the fourth phase, President Kim announced in a meeting with leaders of the three major political parties that he would lift the arrest warrants for labor leaders and order the government labor amendments sent back to the National Assembly for deliberation.
