All men in Korea ordered to have same haircut as leader Kim Jong-un-BBC

3/26/14, "North Korea: Men required to get Kim Jong-un haircuts," BBC

"Men in North Korea are now required to get the same haircut as their leader Kim Jong-un, it is reported. 

The state-sanctioned guidelines were introduced in the capital Pyongyang about two weeks ago, media reports say. It is now being rolled out across the country - although some people have reservations about getting the look....

It seems that haircuts have been state-approved in North Korea for some time - until now people were only allowed to choose from 18 styles for women and 10 for men. Earlier, North Korea's state TV launched a campaign against long hair, called "Let us trim our hair in accordance with the Socialist lifestyle".

Late leader Kim Jong-il, who ruled North Korea for 17 years, sported a bouffant hairstyle, reportedly in order to look taller."
