It has been alleged that members of North Korea¡¯s Unhasu Orchestra, who were recently rumoured to be have been executed for the production and distribution of salacious footage, were in fact executed after watching a South Korean broadcast critical of Kim Jong Eun.

Jiro Ishimaru, the founder of ASIAPRESS, revealed on the 8th, ¡°Information coming out of North Korea indicates that the point of this execution was politics, rather than a sex scandal. One motivating factor was apparently a video about Kim Jong Eun.¡±

¡°Right now, crackdowns against ¡®impure recordings¡¯ are getting more severe. At the end of October there were consecutive executions by firing squad. This proves that these extreme crackdown are not just about obscene videos or dramas,¡± Ishimaru went on.

Quoting a source who frequently travels between North Korea and China, Ishimaru explained, ¡°Videos blaspheming the highest dignity of North Korea have been coming out all the time. One recent issue was a soap opera created by KBS that featured both comrade Kim Jong Eun and the General (Kim Jong Il). A cadre from the National Security Agency said that the entertainers from the Unhasu Orchestra may well have met their end because they too viewed a blasphemous video.¡±

¡°Another trader said that he had a relative who saw a broadcast related to the Kim clan that had been loaded onto a USB. The trader believed that this particular broadcast was a special that aired on KBS in October 2010, detailing the third generation succession of Kim Jong Eun,¡± Ishimaru continued.
