The Kim Il-sung Assassination Squad: Why Did They Head to the Blue House? | True Story of Unit 684

Описание: 📌 The Tragic True Story of Silmido's Unit 684
On January 21, 1968, 31 North Korean armed commandos infiltrated within 500 meters of the Blue House.
"We came to cut off Park Chung-hee's head" — this single statement from captured commando Kim Shin-jo shook the Republic of Korea to its core.
In response, the government secretly established a retaliation unit.
On Silmido, an uninhabited island off the coast of Incheon, 31 civilians were transformed into human weapons.
The objective was singular: assassinate Kim Il-sung.
3 years and 4 months of hellish training.
Mountain runs at 10km per hour. 98% shooting accuracy.
Blindfolded target practice using only their senses.
Silent assassination techniques to eliminate enemies without a sound.
However, amid the Nixon Doctrine and the emerging atmosphere of inter-Korean reconciliation, the operation was cancelled.
The abandoned Unit 684 soldiers were left neglected — fed slop fit for dogs and forgotten.
Then, on August 23, 1971, they escaped the island.
Their destination: the Blue House. To confront those who had abandoned them...
53 years later, the Ministry of National Defense issued an official apology for what remains the most tragic story in modern Korean history.
