Kim Tal-hyon

Kim Tal-Hyon (; 24 July 1884 – December 1958) was a North Korean politician and independence activist.

Biography He was born on July 24, 1884, in Dongsan-Ri, Gyeongwon-Myeon, Kyongwon County, South Hamgyong Province, Joseon. In July of either 1903 or 1907, he joined Chondoism at the recommendation of Lee Ki-Wan, a fellow Chondoist. In 1919, he took part in the March 1st Movement and led the demonstration for national independence in the Gyeongwon-Gun area, and was subsequently arrested. In April 1948, at the second party congress of the Chondoist Chongu Party, Kim Tal-Hyon was re-elected as chairman again. In addition, a coalition government was established to some extent, such as appointing the vice-chairman of the provincial, city, and county people's committees to the Chondogyo Chongu Party. However, as the grip of the Workers' Party of Korea over the political process intensified, this brief coalition quickly collapsed. Kim Tal-Hyon was appointed chairman of the Fatherland Front in 1949. After the outbreak of the Korean War, the North Korean leadership retreated to Kanggye and returned to Pyongyang in 1951 due to the participation of the People's Volunteer Army. After the death of Ho Hon, chairman of the Supreme People's Assembly in 1951, he was appointed to his funeral committee and replaced him as acting chairman of the Supreme People's Assembly.
