Hair Wars – 28 Ways to Part Your Juche or The Force Strikes Back

by R. Elgin on March 2, 2013

DPRK_hair

The DPRK has only 28 officially approved ways to wear your hair (cite).  Married women are allowed extra dingles and dangles so it is easier to tell who is available and who officially isn’t.

Interestingly enough, ONLY KJU is allowed to have his own unique hair style and no one is bald.

Compare this with how South Korean guys like to wear their hair, but I can only think of where this Hair War began, many centuries ago, in a galaxy far away . . .

Watching all those spiffy haircuts on Pinterest i had a few random thoughts:

1) Freedom is wasted on the free

2) Pinterest is probably the most useless outlet that can be filed under the social media category…and the competition is quite stiff

3) I miss Boys over flowers and 2009 in general

4) Indonesian k-pop ain’t half bad

5) Sometimes i feel sorry for Kim HyunA

6) On a second thought being Asian entertainment more sought-after A-list whore beats being a coal miner in China or anywhere else

7) I need to sober up

8) Fuck off everybody

If they’re so strict with their hairstyle and shit, how they came up with this:

Yangachi, you should follow @DrunkenTigerJK. He rambles a lot and sometimes poses as Johnny Depp. I think you might understand him….

So you cannot wear KJU or KJI hairstyle in NK. It’s treason! Mr. wedge must feel so privileged.

- I think that Il Sung’s haircut makes him looks like Brezhnev if Brezhnev had also been a piranha, that Jong Il has a little of that slack-jawed Charlie Sheen cocaine chic bouffant like when he made out with Ferris’ sister in the police station look going on and that Jong Un’s centre part makes him look like a horrible sea creature that could fight Godzilla. Or Bulgasari, to be macroethnosocioeconodemoteleoetymologically correct.
