The bombing killed Yoshinori Shirakawa, a general of the Imperial Japanese Army, and , a Government Chancellor of Japanese residents in Shanghai. It also seriously injured Kenkichi Ueda, Division 9 commander of the Japanese Imperial Army, , Japanese Consul-General in Shanghai, and Shigemitsu Mamoru, Japanese Envoy in Shanghai. Yun was arrested at the scene and convicted by the Japanese military court in Shanghai on 25 May. He was transferred to Osaka prison on 18 November, and executed in Kanazawa on 18 December. He was buried in Nodayama graveyard. Chiang Kai-shek quoted "A young Korean patriot has accomplished something tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers could not do." Syngman Rhee, however, disapproved of the incident and Kim Gu's strategy of assassinations as a means to achieve Korean independence, arguing that it justified Japanese suppression.
