A North Korean dogface sheathe in asuper-tight blue outfit in a state media print has generated a buzz on social media, with some calling him “ a superhero,” “ a captain DPRK,” or “ a rocket man.”
He was among nearly 30 dogfaces who posed for a print with leader Kim Jong Un during an exhibition of munitions systems on Monday. North Korea published prints of the event the following day.
They all substantially wore olive green uniforms, the most common color for North Korean service uniforms. Only two of them wore different colors — the bone in the blue outfit and the other in a cortege-blue livery, which is not that unusual. Kim put on a dark suit.
Some Twitter druggies in South Korea, the US and away joked about his appearance, saying he looks like a “ mortal cannon ball,” or the North Korean fellow of Captain America.
Others called him a “ superhero,” a “ captain DPRK,”the sanctioned acronym for North Korea, a “ rocket man,” or a member of ( missing) North Korean space forces.
North Korean state media did not identify the man. But Jeffrey Lewis, an expert at Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, twittered that “ It seems he is the parachutist.”
Other North Korean prints showed Kim watching a group of spurts flying in a conformation during an air show ahead of the exhibition. The sanctioned Korean Central News Agency said a “ top notch parachutist showed wharf chops, fluttering red party flag in the (October) sky” before the exhibition’s opening form.
