Kim Jong-un's ex-lover 'executed by firing squad'
Telegraph.co.uk - Kim Jong-un's ex-girlfriend was among a dozen well-known North Korean performers who were executed by firing squad nine days ago, according to South Korean reports.
Hyon Song-wol, a singer, rumoured to be a former lover of the North Korean leader, is said to have been arrested on Aug 17 with 11 others for violating laws against pornography.
The reports in South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper indicate that Hyon, a singer with the Unhasu Orchestra, was among those arrested on August 17 for violating domestic laws on pornography.
All 12 were machine-gunned three days later, with other members of North Korea's most famous pop groups and their immediate families forced to watch. The onlookers were then sent to prison camps, victims of the regime's assumption of guilt by association, the reports stated.
“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,” said a Chinese source reported in the newspaper.

“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,” said a Chinese source reported in the newspaper.
Hyon's band was responsible for a string of patriotic hits in North Korea, including "Footsteps of Soldiers," "I Love Pyongyang," "She is a Discharged Soldier" and "We are Troops of the Party." Her popularity reportedly peaked in 2005 with the song "Excellent Horse-Like Lady."
The 12 who were executed were singers, musicians or dancers with the Hyon's band,, the Unhasu Orchestra or the Wanghaesan Light Music Band and were accused of making videos of themselves performing sex acts and then selling the recordings.
The reports stated that both groups have been disbanded as a result of the scandal.
Some of the musicians were also found to have bibles when they were detained and all were treated as political dissidents.
Kim Jong-un, who became leader of North Korea after the sudden death of his father in December 2011, is believed to have met Hyon about 10 years ago and struck up a relationship.
His father, Kim Jong-il, did not approve of the relationship and ordered him to break it off. Hyon subsequently married an officer in the North Korean military and reportedly had a baby, although there are suggestions that Hyon continued to see Kim after her marriage.
Kim's wife, Ri Sol-ju, was also a member of the Unhasu Orchestra before marriage and one theory is that Ri objected to the continuing high profile of her husband's former girlfriend.
North Korea's Communist dictator reportedly purged his own step-mother, Kim Ok, from her post as a senior official in the Workers' Party Finance and Accounting Department as he sought to tighten his grip on power within the country.
She was luckier than Kim Chol, vice minister of the army, who was executed with a mortar round in October 2012.
Kim Chol was reportedly executed for drinking and carousing during the official mourning period after Kim Jong-il's death.
On the explicit orders of Kim Jong-un to leave "no trace of him behind, down to his hair," according to South Korean media, Kim Chol was forced to stand on a spot that had been zeroed in for a mortar round and "obliterated."

An expert on North Korean affairs believes the singer was executed for "political reasons."
"If these people had only made pornographic videos, then it is simply not believable that their punishment was execution," Toshimitsu Shigemura, a professor at Tokyo's Waseda University and an authority on North Korean affairs, told The Daily Telegraph.
"They could have been made to disappear into the prison system there instead.
"There is a political reason behind this," he said, suggesting that the groups may have been leaning towards a rival faction in Pyongyang's shadowy political world.
"Or, as Kim's wife once belonged to the same group, it is possible that these executions are more about Kim's wife," Professor Shigemura added.

Google billionaire Brin's alleged gal pal shuffled to new position in office

| Amanda Rosenberg |
Nypost.com - The girlfriend of Google billionaire Sergey Brin has been transferred in the wake of a bombshell office romance that rocked Silicon Valley, The Post has learned.
Internet side dish Amanda Rosenberg, 26 -- a UK Googler who recently moved to the San Francisco corporate offices to work for Google Glass, a pet Brin project -- has been moved to another post there “to be even further from Sergei in the chain of command,” a source close to the scandal said today.
Brin’s affair with Rosenberg was revealed yesterday after tech blog AllThingsD reported the search engine co-founder had split with his wife of six years, Anne Wojcicki. ValleyWag.com quickly outed Rosenberg as the other woman.
It’s unclear how long Rosenberg and Brin had been dating on the sly, but a source said the Google co-founder and his wife, both 40, were “still together when Amanda entered the picture.”
Brin and Wojciki – CEO of DNA testing kit firm 23andME --split about four months ago, an insider said.
Another source with knowledge of the relationship said it is “open to debate” on whether Rosenberg caused the split and called the Brin-Wojcicki marriage “complicated.”
Rosenberg had been dating another Googler, Hugo Barra, a top Android exec. Barra resigned this week to take a job with China Android phone maker Xiaomi.
His departure came in the wake of “a recent thorny personal situation related to the end of a romantic relationship he had with another Googler,” according to AllThingsD.
Adding to the drama, Wojcicki’s sister Susan Wojcicki is a senior Google exec. Brin and cofounder Larry Page started Google in Susan’s garage.
Google did not respond to calls for comment on the relationship, or whether it violated any corporate ethics code.
“Romantic relationships between co-workers can, depending on the work roles and respective positions of the co-workers involved, create an actual or apparent conflict of interest,” according to the Google conduct code posted online.
“If a romantic relationship does create an actual or apparent conflict, it may require changes to work arrangements or even the termination of employement of either or both individuals involved.”
The company also provides employees a handy conflict of interest litmus test.
“When faced with a potential conflict of interest, ask yourself: would this activity harm my reputation, negatively impact my ability to do my job at Google or potentially harm Google?” the code suggests. “Would this activity embarrass Google or me if it showed up on the front page of a newspaper or a blog?”
“If the answer to any of these questions is ‘yes,’ the relationship or situation is likely to create a conflict of interest and you should avoid it.”
Rosenberg could not be reached.
Brin and his wife have not filed for divorce.
