...present, the most intense speculation focused on the unanswered questions about the assassination itself, now commonly known as the Friday Night Massacre. Nobody disputed the bare facts of the case: Park, along with his chief security officer, Cha Chi Chul, and four bodyguards had been killed by KCIA Director Kim Jae Kyu and five of his men during dinner in a private room of a KCIA building.

One was Kim Jong Pil, 53, a National Assembly member who helped organize Park's 1961 coup and who subsequently became the first director of the KCIA; the other was Chung II Kwon, 61, a holdover from the Syngman Rhee government, who served from 1964 to 1970 as Park's Premier...
