At this morning’s USA vs. united Korea women’s hockey match at the Olympics, a Kim Jong-un impersonator was quickly shoved away by North Korean handlers after he attempted to dance with the hermit kingdom’s cheerleading squad. Check it out:

At the united Korea vs Japan womens' hockey game, an apparent Kim Jong-un impersonator starts dancing in front of North Korean cheerleaders. Apparent employees of the DPRK push him aside.

Somehow police got involved just because he looks like Kim Jong-un:

Police have now surrounded and asked the apparent impersonator to come with him, he says his name's Howard, was just cheering and looks like this, and didn't commit any crime. Refuses to go with them. South Korea police apparently unsure what to do pic.twitter.com/pGzvV0ufcq — Vincent Bevins (@Vinncent) February 14, 2018

Police told Howard his face broke a rule by making a “political statement”:

He speaks English with UK accent, no Korean. They've now told him he broke a rule against making political statements. He responds: "I just showed up with my flag and my face… If you don't like my face there's nothing you can do about it, I was born this way." — Vincent Bevins (@Vinncent) February 14, 2018

What will happen to our hero?

They've now taken him into a room in the hallway and closed the door. pic.twitter.com/x2MT4MAVAj — Vincent Bevins (@Vinncent) February 14, 2018

I don't speak Korean either, but my sense was police didn't know what to do with him. If he was breaking a rule or just making an obvious commotion and drawing a crowd. This just happened in front of me, and I'm unlikely to find out more. Maybe we'll hear Howard's story later. — Vincent Bevins (@Vinncent) February 14, 2018

Howard did finally get released:

Seems he was released. Caught him walking out, waving as high school girls laughed. "Cosplay!" they giggled pic.twitter.com/xnFlco2UjC — Vincent Bevins (@Vinncent) February 14, 2018

Victory!
