North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jung Un debuted his new wedge-shaped pompadour at a politburo meeting this week (as well as a set of dashing – or dash like – eyebrows). Vox notes that the new hairstyle raises some important questions for those interested in North Korean politics. Such as:
- What instructions did Kim Jong Un give his barber that resulted in this style?
- Was it, “Hey, you know trapezoids?”
- Or perhaps, “You know my main priority is to ensure that my ears do not feel crowded, let’s work on a ‘do that really lets the old face-handles breathe”?
- Is it intended to signify that North Korea, like Kim Jong Un’s hair, is reaching new heights and cannot be stopped by gravity or any other natural force?
- Does his haircut sail majestically ever-upwards, unlike the North Korean Unha rocket that failed spectacularly after launch in 2012, breaking up over the Sea of Japan?
- Could Kim Jong Un’s new haircut carry a warhead?
- Could Kim Jong Un’s new haircut target Seoul?
- Will the haircut affect the possible resumption of the six-party talks on the future of North Korea’s nuclear weapons program?
- Given the haircut’s obvious strength, would it be prudent to consider it a potential party to the talks in its own right?
- Is Kim Jong Un’s haircut willing to negotiate in good faith?
- What are the haircut’s demands?
