Hyon Song-Wol, a North Korean singer said to be Kim Jong-Un's ex-girlfriend and reported to have been executed by firing squad last year, is said to have appeared on North Korean state television. She is apparently alive and well.

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.
