Kim Jong Un upset with viral video
The video depicts the North Korean leader in a variety of situations.
From dancing to conducting kung fu sessions to being the victim of pranks, Kim Jong Un was doing it all in a video that has gone viral in China. The North Korean government seems to be unimpressed with the clip, which also features American President Barack Obama, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, reportedly contacting the Chinese government in an effort to remove it.
The video takes full advantage of Kim's expressive face, superimposing it into clips that sees Kim pull off a perfect pirouette before catching a round house kick from Obama, skipping through a field with an Osama Bin Laden lookalike and being on the receiving end of a three way prank from Obama, Putin and Shinzo.
All this is set to 'Small Apple' by the Chopstick Brothers, a song with a video that probably deserves its own post. While the relevance this situation may have in the apparent frustration China has with the leader is unclear, it does stand out that while the clip doesn't hesitate to mock several world leaders it avoids any inclusion of Chinese figures.
Watch both videos below.
