Yi Poik (Korean: 이보익; 31 May 1876 – 18 October 1959) was the paternal grandmother of Kim Il Sung, great-grandmother of Kim Jong Il and great-great grandmother of Kim Jong Un. She was a farmer from Pyongyang, South Pyongan Province, North Korea, and the wife of Kim Pohyŏn, who was also a farmer.
Life
[edit]She was born on 31 May 1876 in Pyongyang, Pyongan Province, Joseon.
She eventually married Kim Pohyŏn, a farmer, and gave birth to three sons and three daughters: eldest son Kim Hyong-jik (father of Kim Il Sung), second son Kim Hyongnok, third son Kim Hyŏnggwŏn, eldest daughter Kim Gu-il, second daughter Kim Hyong-sil, and third daughter Kim Hyong-bok.[1]
On 4 June 1937, the Battle of Pochonbo occurred in Kapsan County, South Hamgyong Province. Later, Kim Yong-ju, who worked as an interpreter for the Japanese army, learned that the mastermind of the attack was his brother Kim Il Sung. In order to gain Kim Yong-ju's cooperation, Japan handed over his grandmother.[2][3]
On 15 August 1945, her grandson Kim Il Sung returned to China from the Soviet Union.
Death and legacy
[edit]She died on 18 October 1959, at the age of 83 and a statue in her honor stands at the Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery.[4]
Yi Poik and Kim Pohyŏn were likened as "patriots" by the Editorial Committee for the Short Biography of Kim Il Sung.[5]
On 19 August 2013, wreaths were sent by various North Korean organizations to the tombs of Yi Poik and Kim Pohyŏn.[6]
