caught up with the Korean rebels and many were forcibly relocated to
Kazakhstan along with the leader of the Tiger Hunters Guild, who
languished there until his death in 1943. A reported side effect of the
Tiger Hunters’ shift to freedom fighting was an increase in the
incidence of tiger attacks in the Korean countryside. However, this
problem—and its cause—was short-lived: the Japanese took the same
approach to tigers that they had to their hunters and, by the time the
Japanese were forced to abandon Korea in 1945, the tiger was
effectively extinct there.
Today, Hong Pomdo is considered a hero in South Korea.
