IMPUDENT COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARY WOMAN EXECUTED FOR WHORISH BEHAVIOR! PEACE AND PROSPERITY LIES FORWARD! JUCHE FOR ALL!QuoteKim Jong-un's ex-lover 'executed by firing squad'
Kim Jong-un's ex-girlfriend was among a dozen well-known North Korean performers who were executed by firing squad nine days ago, according to South Korean reports
Hyon Song-wol, a singer, rumoured to be a former lover of the North Korean leader, is said to have been arrested on Aug 17 with 11 others for violating laws against pornography.
The reports in South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper indicate that Hyon, a singer with the Unhasu Orchestra, was among those arrested on August 17 for violating domestic laws on pornography.
All 12 were machine-gunned three days later, with other members of North Korea's most famous pop groups and their immediate families forced to watch. The onlookers were then sent to prison camps, victims of the regime's assumption of guilt by association, the reports stated.
"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," said a Chinese source reported in the newspaper.
Hyon's band was responsible for a string of patriotic hits in North Korea, including "Footsteps of Soldiers," "I Love Pyongyang," "She is a Discharged Soldier" and "We are Troops of the Party." Her popularity reportedly peaked in 2005 with the song "Excellent Horse-Like Lady".
The 12 who were executed were singers, musicians or dancers with the Hyon's band,, the Unhasu Orchestra or the Wanghaesan Light Music Band and were accused of making videos of themselves performing sex acts and then selling the recordings.
The reports stated that both groups have been disbanded as a result of the scandal.
Some of the musicians were also found to have bibles when they were detained and all were treated as political dissidents.
Kim Jong-un, who became leader of North Korea after the sudden death of his father in December 2011, is believed to have met Hyon about 10 years ago and struck up a relationship.
His father, Kim Jong-il, did not approve of the relationship and ordered him to break it off. Hyon subsequently married an officer in the North Korean military and reportedly had a baby, although there are suggestions that Hyon continued to see Kim after her marriage.
Kim's wife, Ri Sol-ju, was also a member of the Unhasu Orchestra before marriage and one theory is that Ri objected to the continuing high profile of her husband's former girlfriend.
North Korea's Communist dictator reportedly purged his own step-mother, Kim Ok, from her post as a senior official in the Workers' Party Finance and Accounting Department as he sought to tighten his grip on power within the country.
She was luckier than Kim Chol, vice minister of the army, who was executed with a mortar round in October 2012.
Kim Chol was reportedly executed for drinking and carousing during the official mourning period after Kim Jong-il's death.
On the explicit orders of Kim Jong-un to leave "no trace of him behind, down to his hair," according to South Korean media, Kim Chol was forced to stand on a spot that had been zeroed in for a mortar round and "obliterated."
An expert on North Korean affairs believes the singer was executed 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 and an authority on North Korean affairs, told The Daily Telegraph.
"They could have been made to disappear into the prison system there instead.
"There is a political reason behind this," he said, suggesting that the groups may have been leaning towards a rival faction in Pyongyang's shadowy political world.
"Or, as Kim's wife once belonged to the same group, it is possible that these executions are more about Kim's wife," Professor Shigemura added.
Say what you like about North Korea, their pop-princesses go out with more dignity than those in the United States.
Kim Ok is a pretty cool name, though Excellent horse-like lady is a bit of a strange name for a song.
When I first glanced at this thread, I read it as "Kim Jong-un's ex-lover executed by flying squid." I though Kim Jong-Un might have finally gone full-scale Bond supervillian. Alas. :(
New wife is cleaning the slate, eh.
Hey, I found the music video of "Excellent Horselike Lady.

It seems the the North Koreans share that weird communist quality where they are really fucking proud of ordinary factory equipment.

Seriously? By tying him to the tube, or by lobbing a shell at him?

Making him stand on a pre-ranged spot and lobbing a shell at him.

Next, he will have sharks with lasers.
BTW, I wonder if the mortar hit the guy on the head? Or landed next to him. :hmm:

If Kim aimed it himself, it obviously landed right on him. After all he comes from a family that can finish 18 holes of golf in 49.

Who knows. It's North Korea. All of these stories are little more than rumours.

I figured the song was a tribute to Penelope Cruz.

I watched part of
New Year's Eve the other night; man, that horse face is just getting horsier. Thought I was watching the Preakness for a moment.
I can think of a couple ex girlfriends I'd like to see lined up against the wall.
Is this that mule like spinning woman person? Or is that his current missus? Its hard to keep up with these celebrities....so I like the North Korean approach of executing them once they're past their prime. Doing that in Britain would certain solve a lot of problems (Celebrity Big Brother, I'm a Celebrity, etc...)
edit- ah, I mis-remember. Excellent Horse Like Lady is the one I'm thinking about.

You really want to make things better, you execute the viewers.
