If North Korean heir-apparent Kim Jong-un's country wasn't a black hole of secrecy and a human rights cesspool, he would be a fashion world darling? Apparently the soon to be ruler of North Korea's high-sided haircut is a hit in Pyongyang and all the North Korean lads are lining up to get a similar cut in honor of their future leader. Question is, how the hell does information like this get out when that country lives in silence? How do we know North Korean young men are lining up at their local barbershops to get this haircut? Oh wait this is one of those items the North Korean run news agency shared with the world.
The young Kim's haircut is dubbed a "youth" or "ambition" hairstyle in North Korea, South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper has reported. Earlier this week, North Korean state news agency KCNA quoted barber An Su-gil as saying the short-cut, medium-cut and square-cut hairstyles are now popular among young men. North Korean newspaper Rodong Sinmun wrote in September that neat and short hair for young people makes them "captivating."[MSNBC]
