Kim Jong-suk was born December 24, 1917 to Kim Chun San and Oh Ssi in Osan-dong, Hoeryong County, in the North Hamgyong Province of Japanese Korea to a family of poor farmers. Later, her family would abandon Korea to live in China in 1922. Kim Jong-suk joined the Young Communist League of Korea, led by Kim Il-sung, on July 10, 1932. Later, on April 25, 1936, she was assigned to the KPRA main unit directly under the command of Kim Il-sung. Kim Jong-suk was formally admitted into the Communist Party on January 25, 1937.

On September 22, 1949, Kim Jong-suk died at the age of 31 while giving birth to a stillborn baby girl. Known in Korea as "The Heroine of the Anti-Japanese Revolution", the North Korean government conferred the title of DPRK Hero on her on September 21, 1972; her image is used as part of the propaganda apparatus of the Juche Workers Party of North Korea, in which she is portrayed as a revolutionary woman.
