North Korea’s state-run Korean Central Television released a television clip on Saturday showing North Korean leader Kim Jong-un attending a musical performance with a woman sitting to his right. The footage has sparked speculation that the woman may be Kim’s undisclosed wife. The North Korean media refrained from identifying her. [YONHAP]

Rumors are still swirling about the identity of the mystery woman seen with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the weekend. His wife? His sister? His secretary?
Perhaps the most complete theory so far has emerged from Korea Joongang Daily, who say that the woman appears to be Hyon Song-wol, a former vocalist of the Bochonbo Electronic Music Band.
The paper reports that the pair were thought to have had an affair after Kim returned from his education in Switzerland, but Kim's late father Kim Jong Il apparently disapproved of the relationship. Now the couple appear to have rekindled their romance after the death of the elder Kim.
Hyon is best known for her song "Excellent Horse-Like Lady", according to Joongang (that's their translation, not ours). Photos from a recent performance by Hyon definitely bare a resemblance to the lady seated with Kim, but its hard to tell.
If you're wondering about the "Excellent Horse-Like Lady" song in question, by the way, here's a video that seems to be it (Korea watchers, please get in touch if you can shed more light on this).

"Excellent Horse-Like Lady?"
Sarah Jessica Parker?
Although I don't understand the lyrics she has a nice voice.

Okay, I think I can work this one out.
The horse is probably a symbol of working hard, being dedicated, and other shit like that. Song is comparing a woman doing her best on a day-to-day basis and thus is like a horse in that regard. Then again, I know pretty much nothing of horses or Korean culture, so I could be completely wrong.
Anyway, getting back to that video, the music for it was creepy as hell.
The title's probably translated more literally than it's intended, too, which is probably why it sounds so completely random.
