金正恩前女友露面 曾被傳已遭處決大綱
A North Korean singer said to be Kim Jong-Un's ex-girlfriend and rumoured to have been executed last year has appeared on state television, apparently alive and well.
Pyongyang's state TV showed Hyon Song-Wol, the head of a band known as Moranbong, delivering a speech at a national art workers rally in Pyongyang on Friday.
She expressed gratitude for Mr Kim's leadership and pledged to work harder to "stoke up the flame for art and creative work".
Her appearance came after months of speculation about whether or not she was alive.
Japan's Asahi Shimbun and South Korean media said in September that Hyon, members of the Unhasu Orchestra and other state musicians had been executed by firing squad for taping themselves having sex.
South Korea's spy chief Nam Jae-Joon added weight to the reports when he said in October that he was "aware" of the alleged execution.
"We are aware of the execution of some 10 people associated with the Unhasu Orchestra", two lawmakers quoted Mr Nam as saying at a closed door parliamentary session, according to Yonhap news agency.
The Asahi said the rare execution of state performers had been ordered to prevent rumours spreading about the supposedly decadent lifestyle of Ri Sol-Ju, North Korea's first lady, while she was an entertainer.
North Korea angrily denied the reports, calling them an "unpardonable" crime.
The North's state news agency KCNA said the reports were the work of "psychopaths" and "confrontation maniacs" in the South Korean government and media.
"This is an unpardonable, hideous provocation hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership," a KCNA commentary said in September.
In an apparent attempt to prove the rumours untrue, North Korean radio in October aired a performance by the orchestra.據《每日電訊報》5月17日報道，早前被傳遭到處決的金正恩緋聞前女友、朝鮮歌手玄鬆月近期在電視上露面，令處決傳聞不攻自破。
據朝鮮中央電視臺報道，牡丹峯樂團團長玄鬆月於16日在平壤召開的全國文藝工作者大會上發表了演講。
她表達了對金正恩領導的感激之情，並誓言要更加努力工作，以“促進文藝及創意事業之火熊熊燃燒”。
此前數月，曾有懷疑稱她已遭處決。
日本朝日新聞與韓國媒體於去年九月稱玄鬆月、牡丹峯樂團成員及部分朝鮮國家音樂家已遭射擊隊處決，原因是他們曾錄製彼此間的性愛錄像。
韓國國家情報員院長南在俊稱他在十月份也獲悉了處決的相關信息，令此前的報道顯得更加真實。
“我們獲悉牡丹峯樂團有大約10名成員遭到處決”，據韓國聯合通訊社報道，兩位韓國議員曾在一次非公開議會會議上這樣轉述過南在俊的話。
朝日新聞稱，針對國家表演藝術家執行的處決並不常見，此番可能是爲防止第一夫人李雪珠的流言擴散。李雪珠曾身爲藝人，此前有傳言稱其生活作風墮落。
朝鮮對此憤怒迴應，稱該報道爲“不可饒恕”的罪行。
朝鮮官方媒體中央通訊社稱報道純屬胡言亂語，是韓國政府及媒體出於對朝鮮的敵意而惡意編造的謊話。
爲證明流言虛假，朝鮮電臺還於去年十月播放了一段牡丹峯樂團的音頻。
