1 killed suspect arrested August 21, 2011 Missionary Kim Chang-hwan dies from suicide poison or suspected North Korean poison needle attack South Korean missionary meets a stranger who turns out to be North Korean agent assigned to monitor him. He was in Dandong, a Chinese city on the Yalu River overlooking North Korea. He suddenly had a discolored complexion, spots on his fingers and limbs, flecks of foam on his mouth. He was dead by the time he reached the hospital. Chinese hospital officials said Kim Chang-hwan had committed suicide by swallowing pesticides, but after his wife brought back her own blood sample, it was tested in Seoul found high levels of a poison. Experts know that the poison needle has been in use by North Korean special operations against activists, often evangelical Christians who smuggle out defectors and send anti-Kim literature and Bibles across the border sometimes on balloons. December 2012 it was established that in March 2010 a North Korean agent was assigned to monitor Kim. He pretended to be a defector, and investigation confirmed that Kim was killed using neostigmine bromide, known to be preferred by North Korean intelligence agents.
One of 3 plots:
August 21, 2011 Patrick Kim collapsed at a taxi stand in a city in China near North Korea, the apparent victim of a poison needle. He was a Christian pastor and human rights activist who helped people escape North Korea. The next day in another Chinese city, another South Korean missionary also fell but survived the attack. In mid-September, another man was arrested planning a similar plot.

An autopsy, however, did not find any toxic chemicals or evidence of murder.

Park Sang-hak - Wikipedia democracy activist and is the chairman of Fighters for a Free North Korea Park Sang-hak: The man trying to liberate North Korea using balloons ... independent.co.uk Assassination attempt Wikipedia In September 2011, a North Korean defector was arrested in Seoul by members of the National Intelligence Service on his way to meet with Park, referred to as "Enemy Zero" by the Pyongyang regime. South Korean authorities said that he had planned to kill Park either by poisoning his drink or by jabbing him with a poisoned needle. Park said that the assassin, Ahn, had phoned him earlier and asked to meet him. "Ahn told me by phone", Park said, "that he was to be accompanied by a visitor from Japan who wants to help our efforts. But then I was told by the NIS not to go to the meeting due to the risk of assassination" The Independent of London noted that Ahn "could face the death penalty" under South Korea's National Security Law, but he ended up being sentenced to four years in prison. He was also ordered to pay 11.75 million Won in fines, which was the same amount he had been promised for assassinating Park. The Independent also pointed out that the assassination plot was “reminiscent of the KGB Cold War killing of Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov, who was stabbed with a ricin-tipped umbrella in London in 1978.”
