The woman and the North Korean leader had met 10 year ago, and apparently began dating soon after.

He eventually broke off the relationship, following orders from his father, the deceased Kim Jong-Il.

Family members were forced to watch the execution, and were later placed in a North Korean prison camp.

This occurred just 9 days after pop-singer Hyon Song-wol and other famous musicians were sentenced to death.
