Mun Kyong-jin (died on August 20, 2013[dubious ]) was a North Korean violinist and former head of the Unhasu Orchestra.[1][2]
Mun had received numerous awards and recognitions from the North Korean government during his career.[3] In 2005, Mun won a competition held in Hungary.[3] He performed with the Unhasu Orchestra at the Salle Pleyel concert hall in Paris in March 14, 2012.[4][5] At the time, Mun told that Associated Press, "Despite differing languages, we hope that we can easily understand each other through music and become friends," in an interview conducted shortly before the Parisian performance.[5]
The Chosun Ilbo reported on August 29, 2013, that Mun Kyong-jin, along with a dozen other prominent North Korean musicians, had been arrested on August 17, on charges of allegedly violating laws against pornography.[3] According to the report, other arrested musicians were arrested as political dissidents or accused of possessing Bibles.[3] The report said that Mun Kyong-jin was executed by firing squad on August 20, 2013.[3][dubious ] In addition, it claimed that a dozen other musicians were also executed with Mun, including pop singer Hyon Song-wol; several of Mun's colleagues from the Unhasu Orchestra; and dancers and singers from the Wangjaesan Light Music Band.[3] The Unhasu Orchestra was reportedly disbanded following Mun's execution.[3] However, it subsequently emerged that Hyon Song-wol had not been executed.[6]
