Kim Jong-Un, the sole leader of North Korea has recently fascinated the western society with his new rectangular haircut and lack of eyebrows. Un made an appearance at a politburo meeting rocking a hair cut with completely shaved sides, half shaved eyebrows, and a slicked back top that resembles a trapezoid.
Un's haircut has been a recent target for criticism by news media outlets and political satirists. Un's old hair cut was considered a symbol by many North Koreans; portraying his connection with the former dictator Kim Il-sung. News media outlets analyzed and speculated the deeper meaning to Un's new hairdo.
People magazine compared Un's wild hairdo to Will Smith's wacky rectangular haircut back in the 1990's.On the other hand, Vox news proposed 12 satirical questions that we should ask about Un's new hair cut.
I found this news story interesting because of the different approaches used by the news organizations that I have chosen. One news topic generated three totally different news stories.
Good choice! There was a lot of news about this haircut. I like the way you're doing your links. No photo though! This should have a photo of Kim. (Also, Korean names use the last name first, so when you refer to him by his last name, it's not "Un" but "Kim").
