The singer in this North Korean music video, titled Excellent Horse-Like Lady, is a woman
called Hyon Song-wol.
She's rumoured to be the ex-girlfriend of Kim Jong-Un, the current leader of the secretive
state.
And it's thought she and many of her fellow performers have been executed.
They were accused of breaking North Korea's *** laws by selling sex tapes of themselves
and for carrying bibles.
That meant they were treated as political dissidents and executed.
The reports come from a South Korean newspaper, which suggests that the executed were killed
by a machine gun firing squad whilst fellow performers and their families watched on.
The families of the executed were then reportedly sent to prison camps under North Korea's guilty
by association laws.
It's thought that the singer met the dictator, who is now married to his wife Ri Sol Ju,
in around 2003.
