Shin Gyung Sub / Shin’s Father
Perhaps more than any other person, Park Yong Chul is responsible for inspiring Shin to escape from Camp 14. Park is a humble, intelligent man, who’s sent to Camp 14 after he flees the country and then tries to return. In Camp 14, Park quickly befriends Shin (who’s been sent to spy on Park), and entertains him with vivid descriptions of the delicious food and beautiful sights outside the camp. Together, Park and Shin plan to escape from the camp and make their ways to China. Unfortunately, Park dies after he’s electrocuted by the fence surrounding the camp, but Shin continues on without him.
