Known by his pen name Baekbeom, what politician and educator led the Korean Independence Movement from Japan?

Answer Kim Gu

One of Korea's "Founding Fathers," Kim Gu was an important leader in the Independence Movement and in the reunification of Korea. He was the last president of the provisional government of the Republic of Korea and was assassinated by Ahn Doo-hee, who saw him as a Soviet Union agent. He once said: "If God asked me what was my wish, I would reply unhesitatingly, 'Korean independence.' If he asked me what was my second wish, I would again answer, 'My country's independence.'”
