Let me add that this is not confirmed, though it would not surprise me for his ex to get killed. Whether or not she made porn or even owned porn is irrelevant. It’s entirely possible she “knows too much” about him. I guess they could have imprisioned her forever, but death is cleaner. What a place. [Also, I can not find a reliable source on this, so it really could be speculation. I believe the source comes from an English S. Korean paper.](http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2013/08/29/newser-kim-jong-un-girlfriend/2726081/) ---

There’s been a major power struggle going in the NK since KJ took over. While the articles I’ve seen suggest that these executions are part of him consolidating power, I wonder if it’s actually the other way: people wanting to embarrass him are doing this. In any case, it is another example of pretty well connected people getting taken out. It’s always been scary in NK, but right now it’s got to be turned up to 11. ---

Apparently there’s been speculation that Kim’s wife, Ri Sol-ju, had something do with it. She was in the same band as Hyon and there are rumours that Kim was having an affair with Hyon. ---

She was in the same band as Hyon and there are rumours that Kim was having an affair with Hyon. Maybe that’s true, but to me, that sounds like the sort of rumor Kim’s enemies in the NoKo government/military might spread to embarrass him. ---

> [@Senegoid](#): > > Was her name > An Bo-lin? Her name was Hyon Song Wol. “Excellent Horse-Like Lady” was the improbable name of her hit single (and, yes, there’s a [video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5tkXgw2OMY)). I think the detail I find most appalling is that Kim wasn’t content to just execute his girlfriend for whatever insane reason was floating around in his head. He also had to execute eleven other people as cover for the murder. Also appalling is one of the stories I read from back when Kim was first being seen with Hyon. There was speculation that he might be making public appearances with her in an attempt to project a warmer and more humane image. If so, I think we can now say it’s failed. ---

The _ahem_ “sex tape”[ for which she was allegedly executed is at the broken link below. Haven’t watched whole video so not sure if safe for work, but is allegedly pretty tame. There’s an animated gif of the supposed “pornographic” part and it’s just her, or someone who is supposed to be her, raising her leg over her head while fully dressed in a dance costume.
