A Kim Jong-un impersonator calling himself “Howard” has apparently trolled North Korea, after walking past North Korean cheer leaders dancing and waving a Korean unification flag during a hockey match in Gangneung, South Korea.

Security guards quickly ushered the impersonator away from the area but apparently police were left unsure what to do with the man as no crime was committed.

It is believed that “Howard” was by officials told that he had violated a Winter Games’ rule which bars political statements.
Howard responded by saying that he had done nothing wrong and that he could not control the way that he looked saying
“I just showed up with my flag and my face…” adding “If you don’t like my face there’s nothing you can do about it, I was born this way.”
All fun a games but gotta remember that things are just settling down..don’t need Kim jong Un impersonators setting back peace.
