[7] Baek then moved to Shanghai,[8] where he worked with the Black Terror Party [ko] (BTP),[9] a Korean anarchist terrorist group.

[10] In March 1933, Baek attempted to assassinate a Japanese consul in the Six Three Pavilion Restaurant, as part of a plot by the BTP.

[1] On 31 July 1934, the Black Newspaper (흑석신문; Heuksaek sinmun) ran an article that paid tribute to Baek, remembering him as "a rebel who stood on the front line of human liberation".

[14] Baek's epitaph includes his last words before he died:[15] I don't expect I will be alive after another couple of months.Alas, my fellowmen, Try not to be discouraged by my death.

Brothers, take care of yourselves and after you get out of this prison,keep on striving for the independence and honor of our countryjust as your hearts crave it in this moment.
