Hyon Song Wol, Kim Jong Un's Ex-Girlfriend, Reportedly Executed For Making Sex Tape

The Huffington Post | By Hunter Stuart Posted: 08/29/2013 2:52 pm EDT | Updated: 08/30/2013 9:51 am EDT


Unconfirmed reports claim the ex-girlfriend of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was executed by firing squad along with 11 others, after the group allegedly made and sold a sex tape.

Hyon Song Wol, a singer in North Korea's famed Unhasu Orchestra, was killed by machine gun along with 11 other members of the orchestra and the Wangjaesan Light Music Band, another popular state-run music group in North Korea, according to a report in The Chosun Ilbo, South Korea's largest daily newspaper.

The report, which cites an anonymous source in China, says the group was arrested Aug. 17 for filming and selling a pornographic video featuring themselves. The clip reportedly found its way across the border to China. Their families were forced to watch the execution, which took place three days later, and were then sent to the country's notorious prison camps, the source said.


Hyon was a famous performer whose fame peaked around 2005 with the popular song "Excellent Horse-Like Lady." She is said to have dated Kim in the early 2000's, after the young leader returned from boarding school in Switzerland. But she disappeared from the public eye around 2006, near the time Kim Jong Il began grooming his son to be Supreme Leader. (Kim Jong Il reportedly disapproved of the relationship and ordered Hyon to leave the orchestra to keep her away from his son.)

Shortly after the breakup, Hyon is said to have married an officer in the North Korean army and given birth to his son. But after Kim Jong Il's death in late 2011, rumors spread among Pyongyang's military elite that Kim and Hyon had rekindled their romance.

A young woman photographed next to Kim at a concert in Pyongyang last summer was thought by South Korean intelligence officials to have been Hyon. Experts speculated that the photos were circulated as a play to make Kim seem more approachable. However, reports later said the woman was Ri Sol-Ju, Kim's current wife. (Ri was also a member of the Unhasu Orchestra before she married Kim, but it's unclear if she knew Hyon personally.)

Hyon's ties to Kim raise the question whether it's possible there is an ulterior motive for the execution. In North Korea, executions have been carried out as a way to eliminate perceived threats to the power of the Supreme Leader and his inner circle, but with such a dearth of facts in this case, it is hard to say anything for certain.

So, we all know North Korea is a horrible place. But sometimes a story just humanizes it more than others :crying:

Sad, but not surprising. To think we as a species have evolved enough to send our own kind off of this planet and retrieve them safely, but there are still barbarians like this in power.

Kim's an ass and is no doubt capable of such behaviour, but I would take any story about NK originating in the South Korean press with a pinch of salt.
