Hyon Song Wol, a singer with Unhasu Orchestra, along with orchestra leader Mun Kyong Jin and others were arrested on Aug. 17 for violating North Korean laws against pornography and were executed in public three days later, according to reports from South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper. Kim met Hyon about 10 years ago before either was married, but his father, Kim Jong Il did not approve of the union and ordered him to break up with her. She went on to marry a soldier and reportedly had a baby. However, there have been rumors for some time that the couple was continuing an affair. His wife, Ri Sol Ju, was also a member of the Unhasu Orchestra before they married, and Chinese reports say that it is not clear if she was involved in ordering the executions.
