A North Korean pop star feared executed by her ex-boyfriend, ruler Kim Jong-un, is alive. But Hyon was then seen on television after newspaper reports of her death appeared in the South Korean press. North Korean officials denied the reports at the time, labeling the rumors the work of the South Korean government and media. The Korean singer was seen delivering a speech at a national art workers rally in Pyongyang in May 2014. Last week it was reported that two North Korean officials involved in negotiations with the U.S. - Kim Yong-chol (left) and Kim Hyok Chol (right) - were 'purged.'
