Blabbing out some allegation on NK ruler's family did invite the worst possible punishment in the past. One can debate about whether the sex video angle is a cover or a real thing. I expect more information will come out.
With enough data points, we could figure it out. It usually take a few months.
I’m leaning on hoax. Its so easy to make up stories about North Korea and ppl are willing to believe it
As you point out, this kind of story evolves. Here is the link to an Australian report that had 12 orchestra members executed [30 Aug.]. Like most repressive societies, there is no free press and news confirmations are made on the basis of multiple reports.
Take pre-war Soviet Union and Stalin. When was this person's last public appearance? How close was he to Stalin. Are there any pictures newly released with his appearance 'rubbed out?' Much the same for current day North Korea.
Of course, as I pointed out in my previous post (#16), in North Korea, innocence is no defense and no one is ever really safe! Witness the NK Army general who was deemed insufficiently sad at the death of the previous 'God King' Kim Jong-il;
"A senior North Korean military officer was executed with a mortar round for drinking alcohol during the 100-day mourning period for the late Kim Jong-il. Kim Chol, vice-minister of the army, was "obliterated'' after being forced to stand on a spot that had been zeroed in for a mortar round. The execution - a month after Kim Jong-il died of a heart attack - came on the orders of his son and successor, Kim Jong-un, that "no trace" of the offender be left behind, South Korea's media reported.
Now that is going out with a bang, unintentional but still a bang!
I would hate to be a member of that orchestra. Come next concert for Jong Un it might be deadly to hit a sour note.
