KIM JUNG-RIN (1923-2010). At the time of his death in April 2010, Kim Jung-rin had been active in the Korean Workers' Party (KWP) since 1954. He was born to a peasant family in Jagang Province in 1923. He became a member of the Supreme People's Assembly in 1962, and remained so until his death. By 1972, he was the KWP secretary in charge of relations with the Republic of Korea (ROK), and in that capacity he held meetings with the head of the ROK Central Intelligence Agency (now the National Intelligence Service of the Republic of Korea) to discuss relations between the two Koreas. Little is known of his subsequent activities, although he was noted as receiving the Order of Kim Il Sung and other awards.
