  • North Korean Cheerleaders Very Unimpressed With Kim Jong Un Impersonator [Videos]

    While the North Korean cheerleaders mesmerise those watching with their ridiculously over-choreographed cheers, a Kim Jong Un impersonator went to stir things up.

    Identified only has Howard, he first appeared at the Opening Ceremony with a Trump impersonator [that image above].

    Then, to further stir the pot, the Australian man of Chinese descent attended the women’s ice hockey match between the unified Korean team and Japan on Wednesday, reports Mashable.

    And that’s where things got really interesting.

    During the match, Howard walked over to a group of North Korean cheerleaders waving the unified Korean flag, only to be pushed aside by a group of apparent Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) minders.

    Suffice to say, the North Korean cheerleaders were highly unimpressed – just look at those faces:

    Scuffle scuffle, removal:

    Soon, Howard was not only removed from the cheerleaders’ sitting area, but from the stadium as well:

    “They were kicking me in the shins, these tough guys, and shouting something in Korean really angrily,” he told the triple j radio station.

    Out you go:

    Soon after, Howard said he was surrounded by South Korean policemen who didn’t let him leave for his own protection. He was eventually released, but after the game finished.

    “They told me they had to detain me for my own safety. I told them look, mate, I didn’t break any laws, I didn’t make any political statements, I told them I just turned up as a ticket holder. I’m allowed to watch the game like anyone else,” he added.

    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 do pic.twitter.com/pGzvV0ufcq

    Quite unsure what to do with him? Must be the Australian accent that is confusing them.

    Commenting on his actions, Howard stated:

    “I’m not just a lookalike. I consider myself a satirist. For people that come from countries with freedom of speech, I think it’s important to take the piss out [mock] of our leaders,” he said.

    “The most feared weapon of any dictatorship is satire.”

    Good on you.

    In case you have yet to see the North Korean cheerleader spectacle, watch this creepiness:

    Now that’s wack.
