Kim Young-Guk is minor character in Grand Theft Auto IV. He is a North Korean national who tries to bring "Superdollars",[1] or counterfeit US dollars made overseas, into Liberty City. The first time he tried, in 2003, he failed and was arrested, but fled. The second time however, in 2008, he got help from a friend of his father, Derrick McReary and Derrick's friend Niko Bellic. Derrick and Niko had to protect Kim's boat from the other attacking boats. After doing this successfully, Derrick and Niko followed Kim to his docking point in Bohan.

Later, the Gambetti Family Don Jon Gravelli sees Kim as a threat and wants to eliminate him.[2] Gravelli and United Liberty Paper sends Niko to find Kim at Mr. Fuk's Rice Box and to kill Kim. Niko arrives at the restaurant and finds Kim fleeing from him. As Kim flees, he recognizes Niko,[3] but is killed in the end.

His name may have been inspired by North Korea's dictator Kim Jong Il, or even "Gook", a derogatory and racist term for Korean people.
