Ho Jong-suk (Korean: 허정숙; Hanja: 許貞淑; RR: Heo Jeong-suk; MR: Hŏ Chŏng-suk; July 16, 1908 – June 5, 1991) was a prominent female figure in the Communist Party of Korea and sexual liberation of Korea under Japanese rule.[1] From 1948, she served multiple offices in North Korea, including the Minister of Health and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Korea.
Life
She was born as Ho Jongja (허정자; 許貞子).,[2] the daughter of Ho Hon. In her early years, Ho went to Japan to study in Kwansei School in Tokyo. She later left and in her next years Ho went to the Shanghai International Settlement of Republic of China where she was given an entrance to Shanghai Foreign High School where she graduated.[3] Later she returned to her country. In 1921, she participated in the women Movement and joined Korean Communist Party.
At that time, Japanese Government-General of Korea decided to make the Communist Party illegal. She avoided persecution for participation in the Communist Party. Later in 1924, she was introduced to International Women's Day, in March 1925, she went to Women's Day event in Seoul. In 1927 she was a founding member of Geunwoohoi and also participated to Singanhoe (신간회).[4]
Ho also was in favor of "Unrelated Love and Sex". Her opinion was denounced in Korean society because at that time, the vestiges of fundamentalist Confucianism remained in the Koreas.
In 1936, she went to China where she participated in the Korean National Revolutionary Party (조선민족혁명당).[3] In 1938, she went to Hebei, participated in Chosen Independence alliance , an Anti-Japanese Korean resistance Group.[3] In 1945, she went to Seoul but she left for North Korea to avoid right-wing terrorism. In 1948 she participated in the North Korean government.
Ho served as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Korea between 28 October 1959 and 1960.[5][6]
