Does the DPRK uphold him? I thought they didn't.
From the scarce information I can find in english, he's included in museums of revolutionary figures in the DPRK. By no means upheld like Kim Il-Sung and the rest of the revolutionary fighters, and not upheld the same way he is in the ROK, but generally seen as a positive.
Perhaps "uphold" is the wrong word.
Could you point me to the museum thing?
This is just a reddit post, but it's mentioned here. Trying to find something else.
He'd be in the Korean Revolution Museum, which includes the anti-Japanese resistance, and Kim Chwa-chin's most significant battle is victory at Cheongsanri, which would be significant enough to include. Can't find any exhibit lists though.
I ask just because I was told that Kim Chwajin was nearly ignored, so this'd be another in the endless stream of lies if you're correct.
That's fair! I really wish I had access to the Korean Revolution Museum's exhibit list or some DPRK textbooks, but that's difficult.
