The ex-lover of North Korean despot Kim Jong-un was executed by machine guns in front of relatives for allegedly making a sex tape.
According to reports, family had to watch on as singer Hyon Song-wol was put in front of a.....
firing squad in public three days after her arrest.
She is believed to have been one of 12 well-known performers killed for violating North Korea’s law against pornography.
South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo reported how the victims were accused of filming themselves having sex and selling the material.
It was also claimed that some possessed Bibles, which meant they were treated as political dissidents.
Hyon and other victims, who were arrested on August 17 and executed on August 20, were members of the Unhasu Orchestra as well as singers, musicians and dancers with the Wangjaesan Light Music Band.
It was said the families of those killed have been sent to prison camps under a law of guilt by association.
A source told the newspaper: “They were executed with machine guns while the key members of the Unhasu Orchestra, Wangjaesan Light Band and Moranbong Band and the victims’ families watched.”
Days later, callous Kim was pictured laughing and cheering at a public appearance.
The grinning dictator was seen jubilantly applauding at the Torch Cup football tournament in the capital Pyongyang yesterday.
Kim and Hyon met around 10 years ago, before either was married, but the dictator was forced by his father, Kim Jong-il, to end the relationship.
His jilted lover is understood to have later married an officer in the North Korean military and gave birth to his child.
