The Ministry's KIA Recovery and Identification Agency confirmed that the remains of the bodies found belonged to Second Private KimāCinta-taek, after analyzing DNA using samples from his daughter. KIA stands for "killed in action".
The agency first discovered part of its body in Cheorwon, 85 kilometers northeast of Seoul, in June 2010 and took other pieces in October of the same year and last year, as reported by The Korea Times June 23.
Kim, who joined the military in May 1951, died in a fierce battle around Cheorwon. At that time he was 25 years old.
A ceremony marking Kim's return to his family was held at his grieving family home in Suwon, 30 km south of Seoul.
