North Korea executed Kim Hyok Chol, its special envoy to the United States, and foreign ministry officials who carried out working-level negotiations for the second U.S.-North Korea summit in February, holding them responsible for its collapse, a South Korean newspaper reported on Friday.
Kim Yong Chol, a senior official who had been U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s counterpart in the run-up to the summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Hanoi, is also said to have been subjected to forced labor and ideological education, the Chosun Ilbo reported.
The North Korean leader is believed to be carrying out a massive purge to divert attention away from internal turmoil and discontent, the newspaper said.
“Kim Hyok Chol was investigated and executed at Mirim Airport with four foreign ministry officials in March,” an unnamed North Korea source said, according to the Chosun Ilbo, adding that they were charged with spying for the United States.
Kim Hyok Chol had been negotiations counterpart to U.S. special representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun before the summit.

Nobody cares.
Kim would make a great railroad CEO. He knows how to motivate people.
"The North Korean government and its purportedly dear leader Kim Jong-un have demanded that each able-bodied citizen produce and deliver 220 lbs of feces per day in order to combat the country’s fertilizer crisis and declining economy."
Those Korean officials were probably listening to an Obama era never trumper and ended up taking a bullet for his trouble.
Sick, evil bastards.
What a load of crap!
Korean Arkancide......
‘lil Kim is perfect, so it be someone elses’ fault.
My last “Performance Review” was tough. But...
I’ll believe it when someone other than rooters reports it.
Did he at least give them a free trip to Disneyland first?
Ain't nobody can do that.
Roh roh.
I heard on the John Bachelor radio show ( WABC 770 am on your dial)that Kim Hyok Chol was likely executed with a ZPU-4 (quad 4) towed machine gun battery.

Screw up with Kim and its a lot more than, “ you’re FIRED!”
There wouldn’t likely be much left of Kim Hyok Chol except pieces and chunks.
I guess the House Democrats—who have done their dead level best to undermine the President during these negotiations—were out of Kim’s reach.
IOW he told them Cohen was testifying and that would end Trump's Presidency. Didn't happen.
Wanna bet the next advisor doesn't get over his skis predicting the demise of Trump.
