Is This the "Sex Tape" That Got Kim Jong-Un's Ex-Lady Friend Executed?
On August 17, Hyon Song-wol, a North Korean pop star who was widely rumored to be a long-term paramour of man-boy dictator Kim Jong-un, was allegedly arrested on charges of pornography with 11 others. Three days later, a firing squad reportedly executed the group in front of their family members.
"They were accused of videotaping themselves having sex and selling the videos," a source told South Korean daily Chosun Ilbo.
Now a video is circulating of Hyon Song-wol dancing to Elvis Presley's "Aloha Oe" that unidentified Internet ghosts are suggesting might be responsible for her death. This seems unlikely, given the only credible source here is the anonymous person who uploaded the clip to Chinese hosting service Youku, but then again, this is North Korea, so.
