(Physician, Scientist)
Kim Bong-han, a North Korean medical surgeon, was renowned for his research on the primo-vascular system, a proposed mechanism for acupuncture. His studies were conducted at Pyongyang Medical University and Kyung-Rak institute, where he was recognized with the People's Prize for his contributions. Despite claims of scientific confirmation in 2002, the primo-vascular system continues to be a topic of controversy in the medical community. In 1966, the Kyung-Rak institute was shut down, and Kim's disappearance under mysterious circumstances remains unresolved.
