Park Heon-young

Japanese: 朴憲永 - ぼくけんえい
Park Heon-young

A communist independence activist during the Japanese colonial period. Born in Yesan, South Chungcheong Province.

In 1920, he joined the Irkutsk faction of the Korean Communist Party in Shanghai. In 1922, he participated in the Far Eastern Nationalities Conference held in Moscow, and returned to Korea to organize a Communist Party, but was arrested and imprisoned. In 1924, he joined the Shinko Youth Association, which was formed in Seoul. In April 1925, he founded the underground Korean Communist Party (First), and was arrested in November of the same year (First Communist Party Incident). In 1927, he was released on bail during the trial, feigning illness, and defected to the Soviet Union, so the trial was suspended. In 1929, he studied for two years at the Communist University of the Eastern Workers in Moscow, and then led the Korean Communist Party in Shanghai, but was arrested by the Japanese in 1934. In the resumed trial, he was sentenced to six years in prison (including pretrial detention). He was released from prison in 1939 and went into hiding in Gwangju, where he led the Gyeongseong Com (Gyeongseong Communist Group), an underground organization aimed at rebuilding the Korean Communist Party.

He returned to Seoul in August 1945, when Japan was defeated by the Allied Powers. In September, he re-established the Korean Communist Party and became its chief secretary. At the end of the same year, he voted in favor of the Korean Peninsula Trusteeship Policy, which was decided at the Tripartite Foreign Ministers' Conference in Moscow. In September 1946, he defected to North Korea. In November, when the South Korean Workers' Party was formed in Seoul, he was appointed vice-chairman and led it from the north. In September 1948, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea was established, and he became deputy prime minister and foreign minister. In 1950, the North Korean Workers' Party and the South Korean Workers' Party merged, and he became vice-chairman of the Central Committee. In March 1953, he was purged by Kim Il-sung, and in 1955, he was executed as a "spy for American imperialism."
