Forget-Me-Not

Please Remember Me

The United Kingdom All-Party Parliamentary Group on North Korea (APPG

NK) stands in solidarity with the Government of the Republic of Korea in

remembering the South Korean abductees, detainees, and prisoners of war in

North Korean gulags.

The individuals we commemorate today include:

Kim Jung-wook, born 20 January, 1964

Kim Kook-kie, born 23 July, 1954

Choi Chun-gil, born 19 September, 1959

On 26 March, 2024, the President of the Republic of Korea announced the

remembrance of current South Korean missionary abductees detained in

North Korean gulags. To honour this remembrance, a symbolic badge has

been designed featuring three “Forget-Me-Not” flowers, bearing the message

“Please-Remember-Me.” This symbolises that we have not forgotten them and

are actively working to reunite them with their families.

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on North Korea had had a longstanding

commitment to advocating for the oppressed and persecuted 26 million people of North Korea and promoting freedom values. In recognition of this

commitment, we respectfully wear the ‘Forget-Me-Not’ badge as a symbol of

solidarity with the Government of the Republic of Korea in this regard.

We urge North Korean authorities to immediately release the South Korean

detainees so they can be reunited with their beloved family members.

In solidarity,

The United Kingdom All-Party Parliamentary Group on North Korea
