Kim Jong Un’s Haircut All The Rage in North Korea

Young men are flocking to North Korean barbershops to get a haircut styled after the dictator-in-waiting, Kim Jong Un, according to Reuters.

The youngest son of Kim Jong Il, dubbed “Young General,” is believed to be in his late 20s and is being groomed to be the next leader of the isolated Communist country. As for his own grooming, Kim prefers something Korean American teens sported in the mid-1990s. High and tight on the sides, the top left long and slicked back.

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.”

“A young man with (an) ambitious high sided haircut looks so sobering and stylish,” the paper added.

The haircut also looks like a variation of a 1930s style haircut gaining popularity in the United States, according to the New York Times. The article quotes a barber who says most customers refer to the hairstyle as a “Hitler youth.”

Kim Jong-un, the youngest son and chosen heir of the leader, paid his respects at his father's coffin. Kim Jong-il died on Saturday of a heart attack caused by overwork and stress at the age of 69, state media said.

People filing past the coffin of the "Dear Leader" wept openly

Wreaths were delivered for the man who had led the tightly controlled communist state since 1994

Titchaz,
Your Korean maybe better than mine of course, but if you read tuesday's 'Pyongyang daily', 20/12/11 you will agree the following translation of mine is as good as it gets:

UNFATHOMABLE IS OUR SORROW..; DEAR LEADER IS DEPARTED...

The general who descended from heaven.
Our indomitable commander blessed of iron will.
Our highest personification of revolutionary and comradely love! --You who were born in Paektu, the holy mountain of the revolution.

Your birth was marked by the appearance of a new star in the heavens; a sudden blossoming of the flowers out of season;
An albatros flew perpendicular heading for the sun,
And sperm whales sang in human language! (at your birth in 1941)

Within three weeks you could walk, and on the 8th week you could deliver a speech in Korean, the holy language of revolution!

In 2000 your inventive brain brought us the double-decker round toast with meat in between, the gogigyeopbbang, which the imperialists promptly stole and has achieved world fame as the hamburger!

You have written 1500 brilliant books at the invincible KIm il Sung University in Pyongyang; written countless brilliant operas and numerous works of great art....

O Great Dear Leader....

Now your son, Kim Yong Un, the offspring of the piercing rays of the sun, takes over the holy mission of leading the Korean labout party towards ever more glories in struggle....
-----------

Now guys, whoever wrote that deserves his pay don't you think? even if he is enjoying himself making a fool of his country!
There is more where that came from, but you get the idea. But remember their science works. I mean their nuclear bomb is real enough. So laugh, but not too much...

Folks, first I thought it was an april 1 story. But stories are coming in of the first execution of a ''hair-style reble''. Naturally bald guy who just couldn't shave it up like the despot

Here is your latest decree I am talking about, O Pyongyang! all males must wear the same head-dress, or head. Here is the inspiration


www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/northkorea/10725958/Rumours-Kim-Jong-un-is-forcing-North-Korean-men-to-copy-his-hairstyle.html

10 april 2014: Pyongyang has apparently issued state-sanctioned guidelines dictating that men - in particular those studying at universities - should have the same haircut as their young leader, according to a string of media reports.
Kim has long been renowned for his distinct hairstyle, dubbed in the past the "youth" or "ambition" cut. The look consists of shaved back and side with long hair at the top slicked into a centre parting.
