}}General Hyon Yong-chol ({{korean|hangul=현영철|context=north}}, 11 January 1949 - c. May 2015[1][2]) was a senior North Korean military officer and Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) politician who served as Minister of Defence from 2014 to 2015. He was removed from his post and reportedly executed in 2015.[3][4]

Personal life and career

North Korean media have stated that Hyon was born in January 1949 and joined the military in 1966. Having served as a battalion commander, he was elected a delegate to the Supreme People's Assembly in 2009.[4] Hyon was promoted to the rank of four-star general (대장) alongside Kim Jong-un, Kim Kyong-hui, Kim Kyong-ok, Choe Ryong-hae, and Choe Pu-il in September 2010.[5] He was on the national funeral committee in the wake of Kim Jong-il's death in December 2011. Hyon was named as a member of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea at the third party conference.[4] In February 2012, Hyon received the Order of Kim Jong-il.[6]

Hyon was promoted to the rank of Vice Marshal (차수) of the KPA in July 2012, two days after Chief of the General Staff Ri Yong-ho was relieved of his duties. It was initially unclear if Hyon would replace Ri as Chief of the General Staff,[7][8][9] but this was confirmed a few days later.[10] He was also identified as vice-chairman of the WPK Central Military Commission on 26 July 2012.[11]

Hyon was reportedly demoted to General in November 2012.[12][13] On 31 March 2013, Hyon was made a Politburo alternate member, though he did not take Ri Yong-ho's former seat on the Politburo Presidium.[14] He was transferred to command the 5th Army Corps in May 2013.[15] He was called back to Pyongyang in June 2014 to serve as minister of the People's Armed Forces.

Ouster and reported execution

South Korea's National Intelligence Service initially reported on May 12, 2015, that Hyon was purged and publicly executed near the end of April 2015 at Kanggon Military Training Area near Pyongyang.[16] It was reported that he was executed – with a four-barrelled light anti-aircraft gun – for insubordination and sleeping during formal military rallies, in particular during an event in late April 2015 attended by Kim Jong-un in which Hyon was captured on video napping.[16] A report by CNN indicated that Hyon was accused of treason after he failed to carry out an order by Kim Jong-un, though the nature of this order was not specified. A top official stated that while executions take place for crimes of treason or subversion, Hyon was not among the executed. According to analysts interviewed by BBC News, while reassigning officials was commonplace in North Korea, the execution of a figure as close to Kim Jong-un as Hyon was surprising, and could give cause to concern for the country's stability.[17][18][19]

Hours after the initial report, South Korea's National Intelligence Service revised its statement, saying that although it has intelligence information suggesting that Hyon was executed, it had not been able to verify that. Doubts were raised because footage of Hyon was still being shown on North Korean television.[20] He was also mentioned in the North Korean newspaper Rodong Sinmun the day he was supposed to have been executed. This would imply that he had been arrested and executed on the same day, which is unlikely.[21] On June 16, 2015, confirmation was reported from North Korean diplomatic sources.[22] In July, official North Korea media named Pak Yong-sik as the armed forces minister, but did not report Hyon's removal.[23] A South Korean spokesman said that reports of Hyon's execution should be taken as rumors until there was definitive evidence.[24]
