North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is believed to have had an ex-girlfriend executed by firing squad last week, South Korean media reported.

Singer Hyon Song-wol and 11 other entertainers were arrested earlier this month for allegedly filming themselves in sex videos and selling them.

They represent two of the most popular North Korean music troupes, Unhasu Orchestra and the Wangjaesan Light Music Band. Those groups have now been disbanded.

Following the executions, family members of the victims were taken to prison camps.

According to The Chosun Ilbo, the sex tapes are being circulated in parts of China.

The report also said that Kim met Hyon about 10 years ago when they were both unmarried, but his father, the late Kim Jong-il ordered the relationship to stop.

There are rumors the two continued to see each other after they married.
