Beom Dae (born May 10th, 1948) is the Paramount Leader of Neo-Korea- having served in the role for a period of approximately 39 years as of 2034. Beom Dae is the longest-reigning leader of any state within modern Korean History, coming to power in the wake of the death of Hikaru Sakuma after being appointed as a compromise candidate for the previously unfilled position of Deputy Paramount Leader in the Third Emergency Party Congress (Neo-Korea)- having previously held a position in both the Central Governing Council and as the Minister of Cultural Affairs. Originally installed as an easy-to-control puppet leader, Beom would seize control of the state through his annexation of Jungg'o- which increased his public support to the point where he was able to dispose of those who had installed him to power- generally through reassignment to secondary positions in far-off locations of the State, and the more direct assassination of certain key figures.

Beom Dae's leadership has involved many shifts in policy- both in comparison to his direct predecessor and to the previous governments of Korea in general. Most notable is his favoring of the "Right" faction of the National Development Party- including support to the Iminchebol and the establishment of Lushun as a testing ground for the concept of economic opening to the world.

Beom Dae was born in Fuzan shortly before its destruction via nuclear bomb in the Great War (Esvanovia)- and he would be one of the foremost supporters of its reconstruction in the wake of the civil war- organizing (as both a member of the Fuzan People's College, which was at this point in Omiskan, and as a member of the CGC) mass relief efforts, the cataloguing of the experiences of the survivors, and infrastructural support in rebuilding it.

Early Life

Beom Dae was born in Fuzan shortly before the end of the Great War (Esvanovia), with his family forced to leave the city by the conflict, evacuating the city a year before the Atomic Bombing of Busan occured. He would be raised on the outskirts of Omiskan throughout the course of the conflict, before moving with his family to the south of the country in the prelude to the civil war- his family throwing their lot in with the nucleus of what would become Neo-Korea, at that point under the leadership of Hikaru Sakuma. He would join the nascent White Guard- a militant youth movement being organized by Hikaru's second-in-command, Pyoyter Nakiovich, around this point, additionally joining the prototype of the National Development Party. He would not particularly distinguish himself in this period, with his greatest role in the overall conflict being assisting in the repair of certain vehicle. Beom would form connections with Muraoka Shig around this period, as a part of his previously mentioned repair assistance- with the two meeting during an attempt to fix a damaged 30' MCV- where, after a dispute on what method should actually be used to repair the craft, the two would engage in a fist fight, which would eventually turn into a drinking session after the conflict ended.

Political Career

Beom Dae was the successor to Shiro Chiasa- who had been a minor leader during the Civil War, and was the second official elected to the position of the Third Omiskan District Seat in the CGC elections of 1980. The two had a notably hostile relation- with Chiasa describing Beom as an "ill-tempered, foolish man- lacking an ideological commitment to the Party- and failing to see the key points of ideological development necessary for the future". No statements of his opinion on Chiasa have been written - or, at the least, recorded- by Beom Dae- but (shortly before his death) Chiasa would be reassigned to an agricultural position in Jungg'o. Beom Dae would, during this period, organize relief and reconstruction efforts for Fuzan- including establishing one of the first HSR networks in the nation as a means to more easily transport material to assist in these efforts.

After a relatively swift 4 years, Beom would be brought into the Hikaru cabinet as the Minister of Cultural Affairs- owing primarily due to his efforts in supporting Fuzan- and due to his genuine popularity amongst the population due to it. He would work alongside the leader of the Ministry of Economic Development- one Muraoka Shig - to promote cultural tourism on Far Island- to increase its value economically to the state. He would also work to involve the nascent Iminchebol in cultural efforts- including armament showcases and economic development designed to account for (and protect) locations of cultural import.

He would be given the position of Deputy Paramount Leader after 3 years of Hikaru being in a coma- with the CGC determining that a successor had become necessary to maintain public belief in the sustainability of the government- with Beom chosen as a compromise candidate between the "Center" (Consisting of the established elements of the party) and "Left" (comprised primarily of the CIS) factions- not believed to possess any particular ambitions that would make him unwilling to follow their directions, and thus meaning that they could maintain the pace of partification they were currently engaging in. Beom's first two years as deputy would seemingly prove this- approving the vast majority of proposed policy, and supporting the appointment of supposed loyalists to these factions in the hall of power- although even at this early stage he had begun forming connections with the "Right" of the party- primarily by staffing the lower, non-CGC rank members of the parties with his own loyalists comprised of members of that faction.

Upon ascending to power- Beom would throw off his shackles via starting an false-flag operation- wherein he accused Jungg'o of supporting domestic unrest - most especially a series of riots which broke out around this period- with covert operators in the "Center" faction of the party- before launching an invasion and using accusations of disloyalty to silence or demote dissenters within the party- bringing his own loyalists to prominence, including Muraoka himself- who was appointed as the Head of the CGC after the reassignment of his predecessor to a hydroelectric plant in Occupied Jungg'o.

Ideological Developments

Beom has heavily realigned the National Development Party around its former "Right" flank- instituting a defacto system of economic Corporatism with his solid support of the Iminchebol, with Neo-Korea attempting to open itself to foreign economic interaction with both the establishment of Lushun and the expansion of the Iminchebol abroad.
