Shin Gyung Sub is the father of Shin Dong-hyuk, but a minor presence in the book. At Camp 14, fathers aren’t permitted much time with their children—they’re forced to live in dormitories with their coworkers and visit their offspring a couple times a year. Shin is arrested and tortured, however, after his son informs on Jang Hye Gyung (his wife) and He Geun (his son). He tries to be a better father to Shin after his wife and eldest son are executed. However, Shin refuses to speak to him.
