The Character
Kim Soo-Jung is a fiercely intelligent, direct, and driven power-woman. She is unwaveringly nationalist and principled in her outlook that directs all of her engagements. Her poise exudes confidence; her posture exudes authority. Her perception of the greatness of North Korea is meant to shine through her. She never minces words as she sees language as another form of weaponry. Her eyes are cold, intelligent, deadly. She has the kind of presence that lets men know upon her entering the room that the hunt is on and they are the prey.
However, beneath her cold exterior is a tenderness and vulnerability that few get a chance to see. It may take a long time (perhaps years) for anyone to warm up to her enough for them to be considered “friends,” but when they do, they will have a fiercely loyal ally. Over the course of “Symphony Fighters,” we will see the arc of Kim as she opens up to non-North Koreans, and even those she considers enemies of her country.
Biography
Kim Soo-Jung was born in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. She came from a family that spent many generations serving North Korea’s armed forces. The first words she learned were oaths of patriotism and devotion to North Korea and the Supreme Leader. She grew up a true believer in the regime and never wavered in her devotion - seeing North Korea as a shining example to all of the world and the Supreme Leader as the closest thing to a god.
She made her family proud, dutifully and tenaciously pursuing a military career starting at age 17 when her academic credentials were met. Her rising through the ranks of North Korea’s military was not easy for her. She was not physically strong and she was not a good marksman. What kept her going and what aided her in her eventual ascension through the ranks was her unwavering devotion to her country. The interests of the regime was the religion that fueled her. She spent extra hours in physical training and used up thousands of rounds of bullets, perfecting her shot at the shooting range. To become a model North Korean soldier was the greatest honor she could hope to achieve.
She had a handful of flings with male soldiers, but only if they were exceptionally handsome and had shown great promise. She would go on dates with them and keep a keen, watchful eye on their manner and etiquette - and was never hesitant to give criticism.
Of the male soldiers that she had intimately known, the one that made the greatest impression on her was a man named Park Woo-Shik. She would describe him as “intelligent,” “handsome,” and having “an exceptional devotion to our people matched by his exceptional physical form.” She would also refer to him as “ an example of the finest stock North Korea has to offer.” The two would lose touch through a series of assignments and reassignments. While her focus was always with her responsibilities in the military, she would always have him registered as a prospective long-term partner.
She worked her way up the ranks of “The Korean People’s Army and Anti-Air Force,” achieving the title of “Sojwa,” (the equivalent of a “Major”) and also featured in the force’s military band. She received special recognition for her performance both in the military and in the military band. She had become so prominent that the DPRK selected her to be the representative of North Korea and an aid to Nova Zion in the fight to protect mankind from the threat of The Prosecutors. It was a responsibility that she would take incredibly seriously and would perform to the best of her abilities as it would advance the interests of the DPRK.
