none has paid a higher price than the leading North Korean singer Hyon Song Wol. According to a report yesterday the star, a former girlfriend of the north korean leader kim jong un, was executed by firing squad in front of her family after p**nographic tapes of her and fellow performers went on sale. The Chosun Ilbo, a conservative daily in South Korea, claimed that Ms Hyon was machine-gunned by a firing squad on August 20 along with fellow performers, three days after being arrested for breaking anti-pornography laws. The newspaper's unnamed "source" reported that they were accused of selling s*x tapes featuring themselves, which were reportedly available over the border in China. Some of those executed were also found to possess copies of the Bible, which is banned in North Korea. According to the report, the families of the condemned were also 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," The Chosun Ilbo quoted its source as saying. Ms Hyon's most famous hits were The Future is Beautiful, Whistling Bachelor and the 2005 smash Excellent Horse-Like Lady. In March, a defector from Pyongyang, who was herself a performer, said that Ms Hyon and Mr Kim had had a romance that was broken off at the behest of his late father, who died in December 2011. Subsequently, Ms Hyon is said to have married an officer in the elite Escort Command, the bodyguards to the Kim family, although there were rumours that the romance with Kim Jong Un was later rekindled. In March last year, a beaming Mr Kim attended a performance by Ms Hyon to mark International Women's Day. She was heavily pregnant, although whether by her husband or by Mr Kim is not clear. She was mistakenly identified as the glamorous consort who started appearing at Mr Kim's side early last year after his succession to the leadership - that turned out to be his wife, Ri Sol Ju. ------- related:north korea ex girlfiriend.

Kim Jong-Un Ex-Girlfriend Alleged Sex-Tape

Order: Reorder
Duration: 3:43
Updated: 05 Sep 2013

Is this the 'sex tape' that got Kim Jong-un's ex-girlfriend executed? It's just a video of three Korean women in leotards dancing along to tinny Western music. But the Chinese Internet is convinced one of the women is the ex-girlfriend of North Korean despot Kim Jong-un—and that this short clip is the so-called "sex tape" he used to justify her execution. Hyon Song-wol, who dated Kim briefly before his father ordered the relationship to end, was gunned down by a firing squad on Aug. 20, along with a dozen others, according to the South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo. All were members of prominent performing troupes in North Korea. Hyon herself was a bit of a star at one point, famous for the song "Excellent Horse-Like Lady." A user of Chinese video-sharing site YouKu uploaded the the supposed "sex tape"—actually just a video of a dance performance set to Elvis Presley's "Aloha Oe"—on Sept. 4, and it's since been watched nearly 700,000 times. Some mainstream Chinese news sites were quick to pick it up and share it. But as with the execution story itself, the legitimacy of this video is nearly impossible to verify, thanks to the deep secrecy of the North Korean state. In its original report, Chosun Ilbo quoted anonymous Chinese sources, who were in turn relaying information they'd heard while visiting North Korea. That's commonly how information about the secretive "Hermit Kingdom" filters through to the outside world—messages passed from one person to another, usually via Chinese sources who have a closer relationship than most to North Korea. The stories from Chosun Ilbo and the Chinese Internet don't exactly match. Reports claimed that Hyon and the other perofrmers were executed for "videotaping themselves having sex and selling the videos." The above video, obviously, shows no such thing. If you assume those charges were trumped up to begin with, why would Kim and his lackeys bother citing this video as evidence, when it obviously doesn't match the charges? Some who follow North Korean affairs closely speculate the whole story is a fabrication, a calculated move on the part of Kim control his subjects through fear. Randall Baran-Chong, who runs a nonprofit advocacy group for North Koreans in Toronto, told CBC News: "They like to spread rumours to act as a deterrent. North Korea is based on these myths and legends. ... They're a great storytelling culture.

They need and want help to tend to the needs of their people, but seem to take all the wrong actions at the worst times, impacting those that need help the most. It's obvious to the world that the people of North Korea struggle with adequate food stores, and as much as other nations want to step up and help, the North Korean government takes action to scare it away, or sometimes even flat out refuses it. So the real question becomes, "should we even help in the first place?"

Citing sources from China, the paper said singer Hyon Song-wol and several other performers were executed in public for violating pornography laws. The group is said to have included members of the Unhasu Orchestra as well as other singers, musicians and dancers with the Wangjaesan Light Music Band. They were found guilty of filming themselves having sex and then selling the videos. An unconfirmed Chinese source said: "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." The source also reported that the families of the executed people seemed to have been sent away to prison camps, following the country's "guilty by association" law. Kim Jong-un is reported to have met Hyon ten years ago but Kim Jong-un's father forbade the relationship and both went on to marry other people. However, according to Chosun Ilbo there have been rumours that the two were having an affair. The newspaper said that Kim Jong-un's wife had also sang with the Unhasu Orchestra before her marriage to the leader, adding: "Whether she had any hand in the executions is unclear." Speaking to UK newspaper the ==Telegraph== Toshimitsu Shigemura, a professor and expert on North Korean affairs said: "If these people had only made pornographic videos, then it is simply not believable that their punishment was execution...They could have been made to disappear into the prison system there instead...There is a political reason behind this." Hyon was known for singing with the Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble which performs propaganda and revolutionary songs. Her popularity reportedly peaked in 2005 with her song "Excellent Horse-Like Lady".

North Korean singer Hyon Song-wol, known as the ex-girlfriend of the reclusive state's leader Kim Jong-un has reportedly been executed by a firing squad, a South Korean newspaper said on Thursday (August 29). The Chosun Ilbo said Hyon was among other performers executed on August 20 for violating the country's laws against pornography. The performers were accused of selling sex tapes showing themselves having sex and some of them allegedly possessed bibles, which is classified as a political crime in the North, the newspaper reported. The newspaper said Kim and Hyon met about 10 years ago when they were single, but his father, Kim Jong-il, disapproved of their relationship and ordered for it to end. File footage from North Korea's state-run television KRT showed a woman who is believed to be Hyon appearing at a concert in July of last year. An unknown source quoted by Chosun Ilbo said the families of Hyon and the other people in the sex video were taken to a labour camp.

Sign up for a free trial of News Direct's animated news graphics at http://newsdirect.nma.com.tw/Reuters.aspx At least 19 sailors were killed when two North Korean warships sank off the eastern port of Wonsan in mid-October. According to South Korea's Chosun Ilbo, the two warships were a Hainan-class 375-ton submarine chaser, known as submarine chaser No 233, and a 100- to 200-ton patrol boat. The newspaper cited a South Korean military source who said the submarine chaser probably sank because of its age. The source did not say why the patrol boat may have sank or what the exact number of fatalities was. Other South Korean sources suggested that the two vessels sunk in a collision. Some South Korean sources say as many as 30 sailors died when the two ships sank. North Korea's state media KNCA published pictures of leader Kim Jong-un visiting a naval cemetery for the crew of "submarine chaser No 233." KNCA claims that the vessel sank while performing combat duties in mid-October. Reuters reports that the two Koreans remain technically at war since 1953. North Korea conducted its third nuclear test this year, which has drawn condemnation from around the world.

In the midst of a dismal job market and sluggish economy, many are forced to lower their expectations and settle for less paying jobs in an unrelated field to their majors. A recent government report estimated that Korea's 30 largest public companies are planning to hire about 1,200 new employees this year, down 26% from last year. Amid the lingering uncertainties and protracted economic slowdown, this is particularly hard on recent college grads. ▶News Close Up 2 UN: Global Warming Is Reshaping the Planet The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reported that an irreversible meltdown will most likely occur in Greenland, directly influenced by global warming. Since the 1950s, every subsequent decade has been warmer than the previous one, and there is growing evidence that humans are warming the planet via burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and various activities of adding CO2 into the atmosphere. This new report is another wake-up call saying we are in deep trouble and heading for dangerous levels of climate change.
