On August 8th, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was in the audience to
applaud his ex-girlfriend Hyon Song- wol (right), a singer with the
Unhasu National Orchestra. 9 days later a group of artists were arrested
for allegedly making a sex tape. His ex was one of them. They were
publicly executed by firing squad on August 20th, while their families
were condemned to a labor camp.
The North Korean dictator Kim
Jong-un ordered the public execution of his ex-girlfriend Hyon Song-
wol, accused of 'badography' with a group of artists from the National
Orchestra of Unhasu, which his current wife Ri Sol -ju also once
belonged to. The arrest took place on August 17, the execution took
place in public three days later. According to the indictment the women
filmed themselves having sex and then sold the videos in China. Some
South Korean sources claim that there were many Christians among those
sentenced to death who had a Bible at home, a "crime" that you can pay
for with your life or imprisonment in a state gulag in North Korea.
Those
shot to death include Mun Kyong -jin, director of the Unhasu orchestra,
some singers and dancers of Wangjaesan Light Music Band and some army
musicians. All family members of the women involved were sentenced to
forced labor. According to the Juche ( the delusional state doctrine
conceived by the " father of the nation " Kim Il -sung ) is not enough
to punish those guilty of a crime, but it is necessary to eradicate the
evil " for three generations . " Every year, on the basis of this
principle, thousands of children are born in labor camps and live there
until their death.
The "Young Marshal " Kim Jong-un , the third
son and heir of the "dear leader" Kim Jong -il, met Hyon about ten years
ago . After a brief "official" relationship, the engagement was broken
by the father of the dictator and the singer was given in marriage to a military man,
while the "third Kim " met his present wife . According to various
sources, the two have continued to see each other even after their
marriages. The public execution is thus seen as a victory of the
"Companion" Ri, who gave two sons to the current dictator and wants to
ensure their survival in one of the most cruel dynasties in today's world.
On
8 August, the dictator took part in a concert performed by the now
decimated orchestra. The execution is viewed by some analysts as a sign
of affirmation of his power: " Kim Jong-un is cruelly eliminating anyone
who might be a threat to his rule, anyone who can defy authority.
Public executions are silencing anyone who even thinks of undermining
him . "
