KT is a 2002 Japanese-South Korean film directed by Junji Sakamoto with a screenplay by Haruhiko Arai. It is based on the 1983 novel Rachi (also known as The Abduction: The Complete Story of the Kim Dae-jung Incident) by Eisuke Nakazono, which told the story of the kidnapping of politician Kim Dae-jung by agents of military dictator Park Chung Hee in August 1973 while on a trip to Tokyo. He was released in Seoul after five days.
The title KT means Killing the Target.
