At the united Korea vs Japan womens' hockey game, an apparent Kim Jong-un impersonator starts dancing in front of North Korean cheerleaders. Apparent employees of the DPRK push him aside. He's now sitting nearby giving interviews (in English)pic.twitter.com/PeVJYtri5Y
Police have now surrounded and asked the apparent impersonator to come with him, he says his name's Howard, was just cheering and looks like this, and didn't commit any crime. Refuses to go with them. South Korea police apparently unsure what to dopic.twitter.com/pGzvV0ufcq
He speaks English with UK accent, no Korean. They've now told him he broke a rule against making political statements. He responds: "I just showed up with my flag and my face... If you don't like my face there's nothing you can do about it, I was born this way."
They've now taken him into a room in the hallway and closed the door.pic.twitter.com/x2MT4MAVAj
I don't speak Korean either, but my sense was police didn't know what to do with him. If he was breaking a rule or just making an obvious commotion and drawing a crowd. This just happened in front of me, and I'm unlikely to find out more. Maybe we'll hear Howard's story later.
Seems he was released. Caught him walking out, waving as high school girls laughed. "Cosplay!" they giggledpic.twitter.com/xnFlco2UjC
He's not just a guy from Australia. It's much more interesting than that. I found out more about Howard's story, and I wrote thishttps://theoutline.com/post/3405/kim-jong-un-impersonator-korea-japan-womens-hockey-olympics …
That @outline article links to his Kim impersonation Facebook account. But um, this just in - he also has a bossa nova band that performs in Mandarinpic.twitter.com/drLVELSOlm
That impersonator just got a bunch of people anti aircraft gunned if they gave the wrong reaction.. kinda selfish
Ridicule is a vital tool in bringing down these regimes. I hope they don’t get in trouble, but I would not put the blame on him, it’s the regime.
The uk has lots of impersonators who think are comedians/celebrities for example @RealLeeNelson
