The spokeshole for the DPRK's Youtube channel hints that Hyon Song Wol may still be alive. He did not specifically say that she's alive but stated that her band will perform on September 9, 2013.
So if the band performs on 9/9 without her, then the world will know for sure that the story of Hyon's murder by machine-gun fire (floated by South Korea's Choson Ilbo, which has been known for making outrageous statements. See the Fairbank Report's critique of the Choson Ilbo) is true.
So let the world wait and see if the talented Hyon Song Wol still lives...
Isn't the Internet grand?
Here's the spokeshole's statement:
