Chosun Ilbo reported that Hyon Song-Wol, a singer best known for her 2005 pop hit "Excellent Horse-Like Lady" and a woman rumored to be the former lover of the North Korean leader, was one of 12 "well-known North Korean performers who were executed by firing squad on Aug. 20."
Bizarre name for a song. I'm not sure why a lady being horse-like would be excellent. (Although I suppose I can understand why it might work for a man).
"...They were executed with machine guns while the key members of the Unhasu Orchestra, Wangjaesan Light Band and Moranbong Band as well as the families of the victims looked on," one of the unidentified sources told the newspaper.
The source also reportedly said all of the families of those executed have been sent to prison camps under "North Korea's barbaric principle of guilt by association," according to the paper..."
I'm not sure how the world can continue to even let North Korea exist....but we do.
