Follow Hong Kong immigration and Hong Kong news: A man in Hong Kong named Howard resembles Kim Jong-un so closely that since Kim became the leader of North Korea in 2011, many people have joked about his appearance. This sparked the idea for Howard to begin impersonating Kim Jong-un. He started watching a large number of news videos featuring the North Korean leader, repeatedly studying and imitating his various looks. Not only did he have custom-made Zhongshan suits identical to those worn by Kim Jong-un, but he also meticulously recreated his classic hairstyle.
But that was not enough; the man simply launched a webpage to plan impersonation shows and posted many photos of himself imitating Kim Jong-un online, unexpectedly becoming an overnight sensation. Now, Howard has begun to venture outdoors, heading to busy downtown areas in Hong Kong to deliberately pose and replicate Kim Jong-un's various gestures, drawing crowds of people to watch and take pictures.
At 34 years old, Howard has become a part-time impersonator. Fearing retaliation from North Korean agents, he has refused to disclose his real name to the media.
