One of the women accused of assassinating Kim Jong Nam was an aspiring pop singer and idol, according to recently discovered photos.
Kim Jong Nam, the half-brother of North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un, was assassinated in Kuala Lumpur International Airport on February 13 by two unidentified women. He was killed using poison in the middle of the airport with thousands of people around them.
Following the death of Kim Jong Nam, Malaysian authorities captured a woman in connection to the attack the same day of the murder. That woman’s name was Doan Thi Huong, a 28-year-old Vietnamese woman.
Doan Thi Huong has been labeled as the “LOL Killer” as she was sporting a sweater with the words ‘LOL’ on the day of the murder. Investigators found various Facebook accounts linked to her and found her wearing the same sweater on a post uploaded by her four days before the murder.
Doan Thi Huong’s recently discovered Facebook account reveals more about the alleged assassin than ever before. Her account reveals that she was extremely interested in Korean culture. Most of the friends associated with her Facebook account are of Korean descent.
The account currently has 65 friends on the “Ruby Ruby” page. 27 of those friends are Korean and 56 of the friends are men.
She’s even seen using popular Korean slang on her account, ending posts with “ㅋㅋㅋㅋ” which is roughly translated to “haha” or “LOL”.

When asked about the reports that are being made about his sister, he did not denounce her and simply stated his desire to be certain about the facts.
“We only hear on the internet and everyone else hears on the internet but judging from the picture it looks like her. I can’t be a 100 percent certain because we haven’t met her yet.
Whenever she comes home I can only tell her to study and work hard.”
