Apparently Asahi Shimbun is a Japanese newspaper.

The Asahi Shimbun (朝日新聞?, IPA: [aꜜsaçi ɕimbɯɴ], literally Morning Sun Newspaper, English: Asahi News) is one of the five national newspapers in Japan.

best2002, could you please post a link to the website or newspaper from which you obtained your information. The English is quite garbled. Thank you.

OK. I did more research. Are you posting about this story?

North Korea executed nine music group performers in an apparent attempt to squelch rumors leaking that the wife of leader Kim Jong Un might once have led a provocative lifestyle.

The information comes from a high-ranking North Korean government official who recently defected.

According to sources, both the Japanese and South Korean governments have confirmed the veracity of the report.

Kim's wife, Ri Sol Ju, was a singer with the Unhasu Orchestra before she married him in June 2012.
