Sourcing & confidence disclaimer

Every claim on this profile comes from the sources cited on it. Nothing has been added or inferred.

Kim Song Il is profiled here as the representative in China of Chinyong Information Technology Cooperation Company, also rendered Jinyong IT Cooperation Company (진영정보기술개발협조회사), which the Republic of Korea describes as an IT company under the DPRK Ministry of National Defence that sends IT workers to Russia, China and Laos. The ministry counts him among the heads of overseas IT branches who led the illicit earning of foreign currency and, in its words, subjected the IT workers under them to surveillance, control, abuse and withheld wages.

The Korean quotation under the designation details is the ministry's own wording.

The confidence level of 'confirmed' reflects that this individual is named on a government sanctions designation; a designation is an administrative action and not a criminal charge, and nothing here states that any court has found anything.
