      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."

          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.

          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 …

          I know he thinks he is just trying to be funny but he is ignorant to the mindset of the actual person he impersonates and oblivious to what he may be capable of in retaliation for being humiliated. The cheerleaders actually looked frightened. How would we ever know if they were

          punished when they return home for making a facial expression that their delicate leader doesn’t approve of? Very dangerous for them and inconsiderate of him to put them in that position.

          He’s 100% right those police have no right to detain him, he literally bought a ticket to go watch the event and be there like ANYONE else. Total BS. Feel bad for the man.

          Hope it is not the North Korea thugs! Then we will never hear from him again. Anyhow it seems as if the South Koreans are really overstepping.
