They were talking about that today in the office. What if you're bald??? Do you have to wear a wig in the shape of his hairstyle?

John Cherry

Festy

Hopefully Enda won't get any ideas either. A ginge side parting isn't very Zoolander either to be fair.

The poor feckers are so fecked.

Imagine that they somehow manage a coup and take down the regime. They've been living in a country-size gulag for so long, what are they going to do next? How do you fight this level of institutionalisation? Right now they even have to watch their haircut if they don't want to die a gruesome death. I'd weep for them if this wasn't AH.

Alf. A. Male

I think he looks great. Might go for that style meself.

His hair looks like a wig that's several sizes too small. Was genuinely expecting that to be a link to The Onion. Sadly not.

Look at Albania now, I guess. Reasonably similar nut-job regimes.

FudgeBrownie

Sure most of the lads around Dublin have that haircut.

Smidge

What do you ask the barber for?
Short, back and Gangnam style?

According to the BBC

Meanwhile, a North Korean now living in China says the look is actually unpopular at home because people think it resembles Chinese smugglers. "Until the mid-2000s, we called it the 'Chinese smuggler haircut'," the Korea Times reports.

Just imagine if someone revived the toothbrush moustache and insisted that all students (well those who can) grew one!

C.K Dexter Haven

Presumably this is about "if everyone looks like me, then they'll never find me if we're invaded"

Well, actually, it's really about "I'm a power crazed paranoid psycho and can do what I want" but there's probably something there about making sure he remains hard to spot if he gets into a bind with some foreign invaders.

Didn't we have a state imposed haircut.

SoulTrader

Should really buy some shares in a North Korean hairdressing company.

Stavros Murphy

Do they all have to act like pudgey, squat little gobshytes as well? Robbing my haircut, the little b0ll**.

orangesoda

in gaelic times most blokes had the same cut, maybe that was by choice, i don't know

Holsten

He looks like a real life cartoon character.

He could have gone for this sh it hot style so his loyal subjects will be reminded how much he has done for them.

and also 'the glib' was banned by the english in 1537, long at front, shaved at back

In fairness with North Korea having practically no electricity, clean water or food. A ****ty hair cut is the least of the peoples problems.

GenieOz

Ah here, I was looking at getting a WHV for North Korea..if I can't bring my short back and sides haircut it ain't happening

There are no lengths the vile media won't steep to.

Anyway, why wouldn't someone want to emulate the Marshal? He is an Icon of the Youth.

Update, 4:05 a.m. ET: The BBC corrected its story to say that the haircut rule applies only to university students, not all North Korean men as originally stated. This story has now been edited to reflect that.

Update, March 27, 10:55 a.m. ET: The Associated Press reports that the mandatory haircuts may be an unfounded rumor.

North Korean officials visit salon over Kim Jong-un 'bad hair' advert



North Korean officials paid a visit to a London hair salon to question why it had used their leader Kim Jong-un's picture in a poster offering haircuts.
The poster in M&M Hair Academy in South Ealing featured the words "Bad Hair Day?" below the leader's picture.
Barber Karim Nabbach said embassy officials were shown the door and the salon's manager spoke to the police.
The Met Police said: "We have spoken to all parties involved and no offence has been disclosed."
The salon put up the poster on 9 April and the next day two men claiming to be officials from the North Korean embassy visited the salon and demanded to meet the manager, Mo Nabbach.
