Executed or Purged, North Korea defence chief Hyon was killed

Hyon Yong Chol

So apparently there is a difference between being executed and purged. The South Korean spy agency has retracted their previous statement saying that the North Korean defence Chief Hyon Yong Chol, was publicly executed.

It said that it cannot confirm if he was actually publicly executed and later said he was purged.

“We do have intelligence information that he had been killed by gunfire but that is yet to be verified,” a spy agency spokesman told ABC.

Retracting their statement seems like trying to make his death feel less gruesome or maybe telling us something we don’t know.

Analysts feel Hyon was more likely to have been purged than executed because execution isn’t North Korea leader Kim Jong Un style to execute. He only purges or kills members of government who are displeased with his unilateral approach to various policies.

South Korean lawmaker Kim Kwang-jin had said that Seoul’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) disclosed in a closed briefing that Hyon was publicly executed for napping and behaving disrespectfully through the use of anti-aircraft machine guns in an area 13 miles north of Pyongyang – as hundreds of high-ranking military personnel watched.
