Pyongyang – North Korea's dictatorial leader, Kim Jong Un is rumored to have a 'secret lover', who is a singer. The figure is a pop star nicknamed “North Korea's Lana Del Rey”, who is often seen with Kim Jong Un. The woman is also said to have given birth to Kim Jong Un's child.
The woman's name is Hyon Song Wol.

After leaving her role in North Korea's leading girl group, Moranbong Band, Hyon Song Wol now works in the dictator's personal secretariat, as reported by Mirror UK, Friday April 19, 2024. Last week he was spotted behind Kim in Pyongyang, where he was seen playing with his cellphone while Kim's other 'helpers' took notes.
The now retired spymaster says their relationship was more than professional, and that they both have a child. Choe Su-yong, former National Intelligence Service (NIS) in South Korea, said the child was named Kim Il-bong.
Choe recently told the Korea Times that Kim Jong-un also has a legitimate son with his wife, Ri Sol Ju, but the boy is too “pale and thin” to appear in public.
Kim Jong Un and Ri Sol Ju have been married since 2009 and are thought to have three together.
Speaking to the Chosun Ilbo newspaper, he described the differences between Kim's two sons from two different women.
He said: “The illegitimate son, Kim Il-bong, was well built, but the first son born to Sab Kim's wife was so thin that in North Korean terms he was described as a pitiful child.” According to the former spy, Kim Jong Un met Hyon Song-wol while still at school in Switzerland. Choe said that Hyon served Kim Jong Un and his sister, Kim Yo-jong, as a nanny and assistant, but the relationship formed and continued after they returned to North Korea.
Kim's father and predecessor, Kim Jong Il, disapproved of the relationship and ordered him to end their relationship, according to South Korean reports in 2012. But after his father's death, “the son is thought to have rekindled the relationship,” the report said.
Michael Madden, founder of North Korea Leadership Watch, said there is good reason to believe the two first connected in Switzerland. Madden estimates that Hyon is about seven years older than Kim. He would have a high security clearance, he said, because his music career requires him to perform at “elite secret events.” Madden said: “He is an elite singer/pop star in North Korea. I liken her to Lana Del Rey.”

He is currently deputy director of the state's Department of Propaganda and Agitation, although his real job is working directly under Kim Jong Un.
"He works for Kim Jong Un's personal secretariat. The personal secretariat is the equivalent of the Prime Minister's staff working at Number 10 Downing Street who are not part of the civil service. He coordinates his schedule, his protocols, his security arrangements, things like that. He also appears to play a very large role in North Korean television and media events.”

Pyongyang – Pemimpin diktator Korea Utara, Kim Jong Un diisukan memiliki 'kekasih rahasia', yang mana adalah seorang penyanyi. Sosok tersebut adalah seorang bintang pop yang dijuluki “Lana Del Rey dari Korea Utara”, yang sering terlihat bersama Kim Jong Un. Wanita tersebut juga dikatakan elah melahirkan anak dari Kim Jong Un. Wanita tersebut bernama Hyon Song Wol.

Setelah meninggalkan perannya di girl grup terkemuka Korea Utara, Moranbong Band, Hyon Song Wol kini bekerja di sekretariat pribadi sang diktator, seperti dilansir Mirror UK, Jumat 19 April 2024. Minggu lalu dia terlihat berada di belakang Kim di Pyongyang, di mana dia terlihat bermain dengan ponselnya sementara para 'pembantu' Kim lainnya tengah mencatat.
Sekarang seorang pensiunan kepala intel mengatakan bahwa hubungan mereka lebih dari sekedar profesional, dan bahwa dia keduanya memiliki seorang anak. Choe Su-yong, mantan Badan Intelijen Nasional (NIS) di negara Korea Selatan, mengatakan anak tersebut bernama Kim Il-bong.
Choe baru-baru ini mengatakan kepada Korea Times bahwa Kim Jong-un juga memiliki seorang putra sah dari istrinya, Ri Sol Ju, tetapi anak laki-laki tersebut terlalu “pucat dan kurus” untuk tampil di depan umum.
Kim Jong Un dan Ri Sol Ju telah menikah sejak 2009 dan diperkirakan memiliki tiga bersama. Berbicara kepada surat kabar Chosun Ilbo, dia menggambarkan perbedaan antara kedua anak laki-laki Kim dari dua perempuan berbeda.
Dia berkata: “Anak haram, Kim Il-bong, bertubuh tegap, namun anak laki-laki pertama yang lahir dari istri sab Kim bertubuh kurus sehingga dalam istilah Korea Utara digambarkan sebagai anak yang menyedihkan.” Menurut mantan mata-mata tersebut, Kim Jong Un bertemu Hyon Song-wol saat masih bersekolah di Swiss. Choe mengatakan bahwa Hyon melayani Kim Jong Un dan saudara perempuannya, Kim Yo-jong, sebagai pengasuh sekaligus asisten, tetapi hubungan tersebut terbentuk dan berlanjut setelah mereka kembali ke Korea Utara.
Ayah Kim dan pendahulunya, Kim Jong Il, tidak menyetujui hubungan tersebut dan memerintahkannya untuk menghentikan hubungan mereka, menurut laporan Korea Selatan pada tahun 2012. Namun setelah kematian ayahnya, “putranya diperkirakan telah menghidupkan kembali hubungan tersebut,” ujar laporan tersebut. Michael Madden, pendiri North Korea Leadership Watch, mengatakan ada alasan kuat untuk percaya bahwa keduanya pertama kali berhubungan di Swiss.
Madden memperkirakan bahwa Hyon sekitar tujuh tahun lebih tua dari Kim. Dia akan memiliki izin keamanan yang tinggi, katanya, karena karir musiknya mengharuskan dia untuk tampil di “acara rahasia elit”. Madden berkata: “Dia adalah penyanyi/bintang pop elit di Korea Utara. Saya menyamakannya dengan Lana Del Rey.”

Saat ini dia adalah wakil direktur di Departemen Propaganda dan Agitasi negara bagian tersebut, meskipun pekerjaan sebenarnya adalah bekerja langsung di bawah Kim Jong Un. "Dia bekerja untuk sekretariat pribadi Kim Jong Un. Sekretariat pribadi setara dengan staf Perdana Menteri yang bekerja di Jalan Downing Nomor 10 yang bukan bagian dari pegawai negeri. Dia mengoordinasikan jadwalnya, protokolnya, pengaturan keamanannya, hal-hal seperti itu. Dia juga tampaknya memainkan peran yang sangat besar dalam acara televisi dan media Korea Utara.”
