Free Joseon (Korean: 자유조선), formerly known as Cheollima Civil Defense (Korean: 천리마민방위) and formally styled as The Provisional Government of Free Joseon (Korean: 자유조선임시정부), is an anti-North Korean activist group established on 4 March 2017. It has been noted for protecting the family of Kim Jong Nam (including Kim Han Sol) following his assassination in Malaysia. It is also known to support North Korean defectors. On 1 March 2019, "Cheollima Civil Defense" was renamed to "Free Joseon", which is also the proposed name for North Korea if it "overthrows its current government".
