Hyon Song-wol ({{korean|context=north|hangul=현송월}}; born in 1977[1]) is a North Korean singer and politician.

Hyon is currently the lead singer of the Moranbong Band and leader of the Samjiyon Orchestra. She was formerly the vocalist for the Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble, a pop group which found fame in North Korea in the early 2000s.[2] Her best known songs include "Excellent Horse-Like Lady", "Footsteps of Soldiers", "I Love Pyongyang", "She is a Discharged Soldier" and "We are Troops of the Party". She has been a member in the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea since 2017.

Early career

Hyon was vocalist of the Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble. Her biggest hit was the song "Excellent Horse-Like Lady" ({{korean|hangul=준마처녀|hanja=駿馬處女|mr=Chunma Ch'ŏnyŏ|rr=Junma Cheo'nyeo|context=north}}), a 2005 song extolling the virtues of a Stakhanovite textile factory worker. The accompanying music video stars Hyon in the role of "the heroine, dashing around a sparkling factory with a beatific smile, distributing bobbins and collecting swatches of cloth at top speed."[2] The lyrics include:

Our factory comrades say in jest,

Why, they tell me I am a virgin on a stallion,

After a full day's work I still have energy left...

They say I am a virgin on a stallion,

Mounting a stallion my Dear Leader gave me.

All my life I will live to uphold his name![4]

Hyon's other best known songs include, "Footsteps of Soldiers", "I Love Pyongyang", "She is a Discharged Soldier" and "We are Troops of the Party".[3]

Marriage and rumors of involvement with Kim Jong-un

Hyon disappeared from public view in 2006 when, according to reports in the Japanese media, she married a North Korean army officer with whom she had a child.[3] She was reported to have known Kim Jong-un, the youngest son of former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, since they were both teenagers. South Korean government sources told the media that Hyon and Kim Jong-un had been romantically involved in the early 2000s after he returned to North Korea from his studies at a public school in Switzerland. His father reportedly disapproved of the relationship and the younger Kim and Hyon broke it off.[7]

Following Kim Jong-il's death in December 2011, Kim Jong-un was thought to have resumed the relationship. According to South Korean intelligence sources, "rumors about the two having an affair have been circulating among Pyongyang's top elite".[4]

In March 2012, Hyon made her first public appearance in six years when she performed, while heavily pregnant, in an event in Pyongyang to mark International Women's Day. Fresh interest in Hyon was kindled in July 2012 when she was misidentified in footage taken by the North Korean state television station showing a woman sitting next to Kim Jong-un at a musical performance. It was thought at first that she might have been a previously undisclosed wife of Kim or his younger sister, but South Korean intelligence officials identified her as Hyon. Some suggested that she may have been given the job of running the state art troupe. However, North Korean television announced that the woman was in fact Kim Jong-un's wife, Ri Sol-ju, and not Hyon.[4]

Execution rumor

On 29 August 2013, The Chosun Ilbo reported that Hyon had been executed by firing squad on the orders of Kim Jong-un along with eleven other performers, including violinist Mun Kyong-jin, both of whom had allegedly made illegal pornographic videos.[5][6] According to a source quoted by the newspaper, "They were executed with machine guns while the key members of the Unhasu Orchestra, the Wangjaesan Light Music Band and the Moranbong Band as well as the families of the victims looked on."[5][7]

Pyongyang's state news agency KCNA denied claims that the singer was executed, and a Japanese news magazine reported that she was seen subsequently.[8]

On 16 May 2014, Hyon appeared on North Korean television participating in the National Convention of Artists, disproving the rumors.[6][9][10][11]

Later career

Hyon is the lead singer of the Moranbong Band and leader of the Samjiyon Orchestra.[12] In December 2015, Hyon travelled to Beijing to perform with the Moranbong Band in a series of private concerts.[13] In 2017 she was appointed to the Workers' Party of Korea's Central Committee.[14] In 2017 she was appointed to the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.[14] In 2018 she took part in talks with South Korea in preparation for North Korea's participation in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.[15] During the Games, she organised concerts by North Korean performers in the South.[16]
