Kim Jong-un’s ex-lover, famous singer in North Korea, reportedly executed by firing squad
National Post Staff | 13/08/29 | Last Updated: 13/08/29 2:25 PM ET



Hyon Song-wol (L) seen in a screenshot from a music video is believed to have been a former lover of Kim Jong-un.


South Korean news sources are reporting that singer Hyon Song-wol, reputed ex-lover of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, was among a dozen artists who were executed for violating anti-pornography laws.

South Korea’s Chosun Ilbo newspaper said Hyon, a singer with the Unhasu Orchestra, was arrested with 11 others on August 17. All 12 were machine-gunned down by a firing squad three days later, while members of their immediate family were forced to watch, the paper reported.

The family members were then sent to prison camps.

“They were executed with machine guns while the key members of the Unhasu Orchestra, Wangjaesan Light Band and Moranbong Band as well as the families of the victims looked on,” a Chinese source said in the report.

Kim’s wife, Ri Sol-ju, is a former member of the Unhasu Orchestra and there is speculation she objected to the high-profile of her husband’s former lover.

The report said the performers were accused of taping themselves performing sex acts on each other and attempting to sell the videos. The same report said some of the performers were arrested with bibles, a banned book in North Korea.

An expert on North Korea told The Daily Telegraph it is more likely they were killed for “political reasons.”

“If these people had only made pornographic videos, then it is simply not believable that their punishment was execution,” Toshimitsu Shigemura, a professor at Tokyo’s Waseda University, told The Daily Telegraph.

Hyon’s popularity reached its zenith (in North Korea) with the 2005 single A Girl In The Saddle Of A Steed , also known as Excellent Horse-Like Lady.

The band’s other patriotic hits include Footsteps of Soldiers, I Love Pyongyang, She is a Discharged Soldier and We are Troops of the Party.

The Korea Joongang Daily reports that the pair were romantically attached previously, but Kim’s father, Kim Jong-il, disapproved and made them break it off.

Hyon was believed to have then married a North Korean army officer.

South Korean intelligence officers were quoted in the country’s newspapers that Hyon and Kim had an affair after her marriage.
