Did they perform again as claimed?[edit]

From the article: "Alejandro Cao de Benós said that the news was false and the orchestra would perform on September 9, 2013". Did they? -- The Anome (talk) 23:42, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The orchestra was not present at the North Korean National Day celebrations on September 9, 2013.^[1] But, just because they did not preform does not mean they were executed; it might just mean they are praticing.Geraldshields11 (talk) 17:02, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review needed[edit]

This article needs to be reviewed, given the revelation that Hyon Song-wol wasn't executed after all.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:18, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

South Korean intelligence is apparently continuing to make the accusation that orchestra members were executed, even though Hyon obviously wasn't. The only strong evidence seems to be that the orchestra seems to have disappeared from the public eye. I'm not sure how we can deal with this, as most of the article is speculative.--Jack Upland (talk) 12:30, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jack Upland: Can this article be corrected? It's literally pornographic and full of vile lies, but a reader won't notice without looking at the sources - such as Radio Free Asia, a US-propaganda mouthpiece led by the CIA "reptilians".--Adûnâi (talk) 07:12, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's hard to do anything, Adûnâi, in the absence of sources.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:22, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
