of artists from the National Orchestra of Unhasu, which his current wife
Ri Sol -jualso once belonged to. The arrest tookplace on August 17, the
execution took place in public three days later. Accordingto the
indictment the women filmed themselves having $ex and then sold
the
videos in China. Some South Korean sources claim that there were many
Christiansamong 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.Thoseshot to death include Mun Kyong -jin, director of the Unhasu orchestra, somesingers and dancers of Wangjaesan Light Music Band and some army musicians. Allfamily members of the women involved were sentenced to forced labor. Accordingto the Juche ( the delusional state doctrine conceived by the " father ofthe nation " Kim Il -sung ) is not enough to punish those guilty of acrime, but it is necessary to eradicate the evil " for three generations . " Everyyear, on the basis of this principle, thousands of children are born in laborcamps 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 . Aftera brief "official" relationship, the engagement was broken by thefather of the dictator and the singer was given in marriage to a military man,while the "third Kim " methis present wife . Accordingto various sources, the two have continued to see each other even after theirmarriages. Thepublic execution is thus seen as a victory of the "Companion" Ri, whogave two sons to the current dictator and wants to ensure their survival in oneof themost cruel dynasties in today's world.
On 8 August, thedictator took part in a concert performed by the now decimated orchestra. Theexecution 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 hisrule, anyone who can defy authority. Public executionsare silencing anyone who even thinks of undermining him . "
