Jeronimo Lim Kim

Jeronimo's father, Lim Cheon-taek (1903–1985), left Korea in hope of a better life to go to Mexico.^[1] From Mexico, Cheon-taek went to Cuba in 1921.^[3][1] Jeronimo was the oldest of six children. He was the first Korean to attend university in Cuba.^[3] He went to law school at Havana University.^[4]

Jeronimo worked with Che Guevara in pushing forth the Cuban Revolution.^[3] He helped foster relations between North Korea, and as a result North Korea and Cuba became strong allies.^[3]

Jeronimo became the Chief Agent at the National Revolutionary Police Force. He was said to be a non-ideologue who only wanted his people to do better. Some have labeled Jeronimo as Cuba's Ahn Chang-ho.^{[citation needed]}
