The ex-girlfriend of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been executed by firing squad, according to reports.
Singer Hyon Song-wol is believed to have been one of a number of well-known performers executed for violating North Korea's laws against pornography.
The victims were accused of filming themselves having sex and selling the videotapes, according to South Korean newspaper The Chosun Ilbo.
Some allegedly had Bibles in their possession, which meant they were treated as political dissidents, the newspaper reported.
Hyon and other victims were members of the Unhasu Orchestra as well as singers, musicians and dancers with the Wangjaesan Light Music Band.
They were arrested on August 17 and executed in public three days later.

Kim and Hyon met around 10 years ago, before either was married, but the dictator was forced to end the relationship by his father, Kim Jong-il.
Kim's wife Ri Sol-ju was also a member of the Unhasu Orchestra before she married him.
A source told The Chosun Ilbo: "They were executed with machine guns while the key members of the Unhasu Orchestra, Wangjaesan Light Band and Moranbong Band as well as the families of the victims looked on."
It was also reported that the families of those killed are believed to have been sent to prison camps under North Korea's law of guilt by association.
