Doan Thi Huong
Doan Thi Huong is a Vietnamese woman who gained international attention in 2017 after being implicated in the assassination of Kim Jong-nam, the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. During the incident at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, she was accused of applying a deadly nerve agent to Kim's face, which led to his rapid demise. Initially arrested alongside another woman, Huong later claimed she was misled into believing she was participating in a harmless prank for a television show. In 2019, she pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of causing bodily harm and was subsequently released from custody, highlighting the complex diplomatic tensions surrounding the assassination that involved North Korea and Malaysia.
