Kim Bong-han was a North Korean medical surgeon at Pyongyang Medical University and the Kyung-Rak institute. He is primarily known for his research on a proposed mechanism for acupuncture, the primo-vascular system, which was not accepted by the mainstream medical community. He received the People's Prize for his research. The primo-vascular system was claimed to be scientifically confirmed in 2002, but the matter remains controversial. In 1966 the Kyung-Rak institute was closed and Kim disappeared.
