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 …

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.
