It looks like a way of referring to Korean (or Han?) characters. The document seems to have been typed, so adding characters from another language would be difficult. It looks like:
Kim = 12380
Il = 4446
Sung = 3610
Ju = 4871
The interesting part seems to be the claim that Kim Sung-ju's name was originally changed to a different set of characters that were also pronounced Kim Il-sung:
Kim: 12380
Il: 1
Sung: 4499
and that this name was later converted to the (12380, 4446, 3610) one from above, which was the name of a famous Korean general who fought the Japanese in the 1920s.
