Just a few years ago, she was reportedly executed by a North Korean firing squad. Now, Pyongyang's top pop diva is a senior ruling party official and a surprise headliner in the run-up to the South Korean Winter Olympics.
Hyon Song Wol, the photogenic leader of Kim Jong Un's hand-picked Moranbong Band, has made two excursions across the Demilitarized Zone as a negotiator and advance team leader working out the details of Kim's surprise offer for the North to participate in the Pyeongchang Games.
South Korea's media have been treating her like a true K-pop celebrity.
On Monday, as she wrapped up her latest visit and prepared to return to Pyongyang, the South's Yonhap news agency reported a large crowd waited outside her hotel for a glimpse of her eating breakfast. Journalists, it noted, received only a "subtle smile" in response to their questions before she was whisked away with the North Korean delegation.
But not all South Koreans welcomed her or North Korea's plan to join the games.
After a visit to the eastern city of Gangneung, Hyon was met at Seoul railway station by about 150 to 200 activists. The demonstrators later burned Kim's photo, a North Korean flag and a "unification flag" the rival Koreas plan to carry during the opening ceremony.
North Korea is expected to send 22 athletes, a demonstration taekwondo team, several hundred members of an all-female cheering group and the 140-member Samjiyon Band to the games.

She got better?
She was only “mostly dead”.
Wearing a dead cat..................
Her execution was US propaganda?
They forgot to verify to see that she was not just merely dead, but was really most sincerely dead.
Some see certain people as half dead.
While others, like myself, see them as half alive.
Cause we’re optimists.
The South Koreans are utter FOOLS by falling for this Olympic nonsense. Insanity.
IOW, she was executed, but it was a terrible PR hit, so they found / altered a ringer.
And this one can’t sing, or even pass for the original among her former bandmates.
Oops, correction ...South Korean Propaganda
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.
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.”
She needed to blave
Once they start going through her pockets for loose change, that’s when you know she’s all dead.
Did you search her pockets for loose change to be sure...?
Kim Jong Un brought her back from the dead! This is even more impressive than 18 hole in one shots!
That was her dinner last week
Not really. Every North Korean athlete believes that the South has it as bad as the North. They are going to learn differently.
She got better?
Yea she got Brain washed. Now she all clean!
The Young Un hopes this will get the idiot youth of South Korea to raise up and hand the south over to him , I think it’s going to work ,LOL
