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 . "
