Australian-Hongkonger lit up Reddit thread with gif at Rio athletics event
A Hong Kong-based Kim Jong-un impersonator at the Olympics has been wowing fans and setting the internet abuzz with his antics in Rio.
He was spotted by TV cameras waving the PRK flag at the Olympic Stadium on Thursday night – and in a very un-Dear Leader gesture, gave the millions watching at home the middle finger.
“Most people find it funny whilst some think I’m the real guy,” Howard told the South China Morning Post about his escapades in Brazil before heading to the USA-Spain basketball semi-final.
“Most Brazilians think I’m [K-Pop star] Psy.”
‘Kim’ was taken aback by how much attention he’s been getting online “Type into Google ‘Kim Jong Un Rio Olympics’ and you will know what I mean,” he added.
