Kim Jong-un’s New Haircut Raises Questions

Via a reader tip comes news that Kim Jong-un has a new haircut and some apparently shaved eyebrows as well:

North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un debuted a new haircut — and a new … eyebrowcut? — at a politburo meeting on Wednesday. The style is a variation on Kim’s signature shaved sides, but with the top now sculpted into a high, wedge-shaped pompadour that sits atop Kim’s head like a hat, or perhaps a small, dormant woodland creature. The North Korean despot accessorized his new look with partially-shaven eyebrows that now stop just above his pupils.

This new haircut raises a number of important questions for anyone who follows North Korean politics. For instance:

  1. What instructions did Kim Jong Un give his barber that resulted in this style?
  2. Was it, “Hey, you know trapezoids?”
  3. Or perhaps, “You know my main priority is to ensure that my ears do not feel crowded, let’s work on a ‘do that really lets the old face-handles breathe”?  [VOX.com]

Holy crap!
He looks like a muppet.
Maybe it’s the old biggus d*ckus-type ploy to see if they’ll laugh….

Apart from its obvious slimming effect, it appears to be some kind of dovetail mount for a scope.

Perhaps there is a plan to fully weaponize him?

If I only had photoshop skills, I would make a picture of him and Dennis Rodman into an old poster for “House Party” with Kid and Play.

It’s even better than I imagined…..

Is that really THE Songtan Sally?

It is, in fact, THE Songtan Sally.

This was a rush job… compounded by it being done on a broken monitor with no contrast… hence I had to send it to my phone and clean up obvious brush marks on the picture while looking at the phone screen. Not ideal.

So… it is shoddy with no blending, incorrect colors, many sloppy flaws… more of a proof-of-concept.

How about this tribute to Songtan Sally from when the 50,000 won note was first coming out.
