Yet another urban legend about North Korea bites the dust.

.

The ex-girlfriend of leader Kim Jong-un, reportedly executed by firing squad last year, turned up apparently alive and well on a state television broadcast Friday night.

.

Hyon Song-wol, a singer with an all-female band, was reported to be one of 10 to 12 people executed in August by firing squad, as the story claimed, for performing in pornographic videos sold in China.

.

But there she was Friday shown speaking at a national meeting of artists in Pyongyang, where she thanked Kim for his support of the arts and promised to "stoke up the flame for art and creative work.''

.

Her execution had first been reported by Chosun Ilbo, a South Korean newspaper known for its staunchly anti-Communist views and its criticism of North Korea.

.

"Kim Jong-un has been viciously eliminating anyone who he deems a challenge to his authority," the newspaper reported in August, citing unnamed sources.

.

Since the report of her demise first appeared, North Korea watchers have debated its veracity. Many analysts believe that the executions did take place, but that Hyon was not among the defendants.

.

Hyon, a member of the Unhasu orchestra, reportedly dated the 30-year-old Kim Jong-un when he was in his early 20s. He subsequently married another former member of the orchestra, Ri Sol-ju.

.

By dint of its secrecy and eccentricity, North Korea is an ideal breeding ground for outrageous rumors, often involving exotic methods of torture and execution.
