Dennis Rodman to get Kim Jong-Un haircut?
Bizarre as it may seem, the Korea Times on Tuesday reported that the new edict went into effect in the capital of Pyongyang two weeks ago, and is now being enforced nation wide.
However, not all North Koreans greeted the mandate to look like their leader with fondness. Radio Free Asia quoted one local saying "our leader’s haircut is very particular, if you will. It doesn’t always go with everyone since everyone has different face and head shapes."
Another former Pyongyang resident now living in China noted "until the mid-2000s, we called it the ‘Chinese smuggler haircut,'" adding that the haircut was shunned until Kim began popularizing it.
The new order is a severe cutback from the former 28 authorized hairstyles. Until now, men had a choice of ten hairstyles, and women had their choice of 18 haircuts, with married women having a wider variety to choose from, reports Want China Times.

The program even proposed health reasons for the short hairstyles, claiming longer hair steals energy from the brain.
According to the existing regulations before everyone was ordered to look like Kim, men were to cut their hair every 15 days, keeping it under two inches, while older men were allowed to grow up to three inches, apparently under the assumption that energy to the brain is less critical the older you are.Still waiting to hear whether Kim's good friend, former NBA star Dennis Rodman, will comply.
Laugh all you want folks, but this guy is one of the world's two biggest nuclear proliferators.
