You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Kang Ryang-uk''' (((korean|강량욱|context=north)); 7 December 1903 &ndash; 9 January 1983), also spelled '''Kang Lyanguk''', was a [[North Korea]]n [[Presbyterian]] minister and Chairman of the [[Korean Christian Federation]] since 1946.

== Biography ==
Kang was born on 7 December 1903.<ref>((cite web |script-title=ko:정세와기도 - 2017년 11월 9일 주여, 감사합니다. |url=http://jubileeuni.com/index.php?mid=pray1&sort_index=title&order_type=desc&document_srl=48548 |website=jubileeuni.com))</ref><ref>((cite web |script-title=ko:12월 7일 오늘의 역사.. 대설, 미국 진주만 희생자 추모일 |url=http://m.dailyjeonbuk.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=295084 |website=m.dailyjeonbuk.com))</ref>

Kang was the maternal uncle of North Korean leader [[Kim Il Sung]]. Kim's mother, Kang's cousin, was [[Kang Pan-sok]], who was also a devout Presbyterian.<ref name="CornerLim2016">((cite book |last1=Armstrong |first1=Charles |title=The Palgrave Handbook of Mass Dictatorship |publisher=Springer |year=2016 |isbn=978-1-137-43763-1 |editor-last=Corner |editor-first=Paul |page=76 |chapter=Political Religion |editor2=Jie-Hyun Lim |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=w4IgDQAAQBAJ&pg=PA76))</ref> In his early years, Kang he was a school teacher (one of his pupils was Kim Il Sung). In the 1940s he studied [[Theology]] at the [[Kim Il Sung University|Pyongyang University]], and after he completed his study he became a minister.

Kang became a close adviser to Kim Il Sung shortly after his return from the [[Soviet Union]] in October 1945.((Clarify|reason=Kim's return or Kang's return? Kim returned in September 1945 according to most sources|date=June 2023)) In 1946 he became the Chairman of the Christian League, later called the [[Korean Christian Federation]].<ref name="CornerLim2016" /> This organisation was in close contact with the Communist Party. In 1949 all [[Protestant]] Ministers were forced to join Kang's Christian Federation.

In the late 1940s, Kang became Vice Chairman of the [[Korean Social Democratic Party]], which was a close ally of the ruling [[Workers' Party of Korea]].

He became the chairman of the party in November 1958.<ref name=cybernk>((Cite web |script-title=ko:강량욱(康良旭) |script-work=ko:북한지역정보넷 |language=ko |access-date=28 January 2022 |url= http://www.cybernk.net/infoText/InfoHumanDetail.aspx?mc=EJ1101&sc=EJ11&hid=EJ110100227049 ))</ref>

Kang later served as a [[Vice President of North Korea]] and a secretary of the [[Supreme People's Assembly]]. He was appointed as vice president by the [[Supreme People's Assembly]] on 28 December 1972. He was re-endorsed for the role on 15 December 1977, and eventually left the office in 1982.<ref>((cite web |title=Chiefs of State and Cabinet members of foreign governments / National Foreign Assessment Center. 1973Jan-June. |url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=osu.32435024020067;view=1up;seq=2 |website=HathiTrust |accessdate=11 March 2019 |language=en))</ref><ref>((cite web |title=Chiefs of State and Cabinet members of foreign governments / National Foreign Assessment Center. 1983Jan-June. |url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=osu.32435024019887 |website=HathiTrust |accessdate=11 March 2019|language=en))</ref><ref name=":0">((cite news |last=Ap |date=12 January 1983 |title=Kang Ryang Uk, 79, a Leader Of North Korean Communists |newspaper=The New York Times |publisher= |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1983/01/12/world/kang-ryang-uk-79-a-leader-of-north-korean-communists.html))</ref>

== Death and legacy ==

Kang's second son, [[Kang Yong-sop]], later succeeded him as head of the Korean Christian Federation.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.pcusa.org/news/2012/1/23/north-korean-christian-leader-kang-young-sup-dies/|title=North Korean Christian leader Kang Young-sup dies|publisher=Presbyterian Church USA|accessdate=2014-03-24|date=2012-01-23))</ref>
