The African Regional Committee for Friendship and Solidarity with the Korean People headquartered in Nigeria said in an article titled "Jiwon":

Jiwon means that one should have one's high aim. Reflected in it is the profound idea that one should achieve the independence of one's country and build a new society where people become its masters without fail, even though struggle is waged generation after generation.

Kim Hyong Jik run schools everywhere he went, looking far ahead into the future of the country and made his devoted efforts to the far-reaching plan to arm the successors to the revolution with the idea of Jiwon.

In particular, he showed deep care for the education of his sons to give steady continuity to the sacred national liberation struggle.

His idea of Jiwon will shine forever.

The Nigerian National Committee for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism in an article noted that Kim Hyong Jik formed the Korean National Association, a secret organization aimed at achieving the independence of the country and building a genuine civilized state by unity and efforts of all Koreans.
