Biography
In February 1919, Kim entered the Shinheung Military Academy (신흥무관학교; 新興武官學校) and underwent military education for six months, after which he dropped out of the academy. On November 9 of the same year, Kim organized a Korean nationalist underground organization known as the Korean
Whampoa Military Academy in 1926. Kim used the pseudonym "Choi Rim" and organized the Korean National Revolutionary Party, and the Joseon Communist Reconstruction Party.[2]
The Korean National Revolutionary Party was formed in

Kim Won-Bong served as the deputy commander of the Korean Liberation Army of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea.[4]
