==Character history== | |||
Kim Young-Guk was born in [[North Korea]] in [[1978]] to [[Park Young-Guk]] and his unnamed partner. In [[2003]], having moved to [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]], attempts to bring [[:wp:Superdollar#North Korea|"Superdollars"<ref>'''Derrick McReary''': "This is a Korean guy I did business with back in Ireland. He's bringing Super Notes into the country tonight."<br />From the mission [[Babysitting]].</ref>, or counterfeit [[Money|US dollars]] made overseas into Liberty City. He was arrested on charges of trademark counterfeiting and was deported back to North Korea. By [[2008]] he had returned to the city, unbeknownst to the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|police]], made contact with [[Derrick McReary]] and [[Niko Bellic]] using his fathers contacts. Derrick and Niko help to protect the boat used to smuggle in the counterfeit money from rivals and follow Young-Guk to a docking point in [[Bohan]]. His success, however, makes [[Gambetti Family]] [[Gang Leaders|Don]] [[Jon Gravelli]] see him as a threat and asks Niko to kill him.<ref>'''Jon Gravelli''': "Listen, I need you to deal with this. Eliminate the guy. What he's doing is no good for the economy, and no good for patriots like you and me."<br />From the mission [[Dining Out]].</ref> Niko is also given this task by the [[United Liberty Paper Contact]], who works for the [[Central Intelligence Agency#HD Universe|IAA]]. Niko finds him at the Mr Fuks Ricebox restaurant and, after a chase, is killed by Niko. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*''Kim'' is the given name and ''Young-Guk'' is the family name, which contradicts the [[:wp:Korean name|Korean naming convention]] of placing the family name first followed by the given name. | |||
*Kim Young-Guk's name may have been inspired by [[:wp:Kim Jong-il|Kim Jong-il]], the former Supreme Leader of North Korea or the word "Gook", which is used as a derogatory and racist term for Korean people. | |||
