Kim Jong-un impersonator gatecrashes Olympic Games in Paris six years on from angering North Korea officials at the Pyongchang Winter Games

An Australian music producer who plays a Kim Jong-un doppelganger in his spare time has unwittingly attended the Paris Olympics.

The doppelganger, who goes by the social media moniker Howard X, appeared in full regalia as the North Korean leader to cheer on female boxer Pang Chol Mi as she lost to China’s Chang Yuan in the quarter-finals.

He also held a Winnie the Pooh teddy bear in a not-so-subtle dig at China’s censorship of Western cartoons, as the character resembled leader Xi Jinping.

Howard positioned himself next to the North Korean representative during the fight, which Mi lost via split decision, before sharing a video of himself in the arena with his followers on Twitter and Instagram.

“Hello, this is the Supreme Leader speaking from the Olympic Stadium, where North Korea is playing against China,” he said.

“I’m standing right in front of the North Korean delegates who are supporting their team. You can’t get anything better than having the Supreme Leader come in person and support the team. Let North Korea beat China, and let’s make it a knockout!”

Howard was spotted several times during the Paris Olympics, appearing at the North Korea-Japan table tennis match and posing for photos next to a Vladimir Putin lookalike in front of Notre Dame Cathedral.

He also crashed a party with a Donald Trump lookalike at the Olympic House in South Korea.

“Everyone loved us — until management decided our faces were a ‘problem,'” he wrote on Twitter. “Yes, we got kicked out because of our appearance… The best part? The security guards couldn’t stop laughing and asking for selfies on our way out.”

Howard has been dressing up as Kim Jong-un for over a decade and made international headlines in 2018 when he attended the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Spectators were watching the match between the Korean ice hockey team and Japan at the Gangneung Arena in South Korea this morning when the look-alike appeared in the stands.

Photos show him waving a flag in front of a team of cheerleaders before a group of men arrive to push him away.

He later denied that he was making a political statement, telling authorities: “I just came 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.”

Eventually, footage emerged of him smiling and posing for photos after he was apparently released.

In 2016, he was also spotted carrying the North Korean flag and appearing in the stands at the Rio Olympics.

In an interview, he said that since April 2013 he had been professionally posing as the head of one of the world’s most secretive regimes.

Howard said he did the act in protest against the “utterly disgusting” North Korean regime.

He added: ‘I’ve never been in any legal trouble or arrested, after all, I’m not in North Korea! I’ve had a lot of strange reactions – usually it’s that sudden shock that they think they’re in the presence of the real man.’
