잔류 첩자

1. 본문

"잔류 첩자" (jallyu cheopja) can refer to two things:

1. Stay-behind agent: In general, "잔류 첩자" means a stay-behind agent or spy. This refers to secret operatives or organizations placed within a country's own territory. In case of an enemy occupation, stay-behind agents would form resistance movements, act as spies, and pass information. During the Cold War, many Western countries developed secret "stay-behind" armies to prepare for a possible Soviet invasion. These organizations were tasked with passing strategic information, setting up resistance, and carrying out sabotage. These agents are trained in intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance tasks.

2. *Remaining Spy* (1975 film): "잔류 첩자" is also the title of a South Korean film released in 1975. It's a counter-communist film about the Korean War, influenced by the *007* film series, focusing on espionage rather than military battles. The plot involves a South Korean lieutenant who disguises himself as an ardent communist to gather intelligence on the enemy with a team of special agents.
