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

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 …

You're welcome to move to North Korea. That way, you'll get a taste of the real thing.

No politics allowed, except for the purely political hockey team. It's great how he doubled down on them.
