Kim Jung Un Re-imagined

The recent trend of North Korea bashing continues in China’s blogosphere. @张洲演义, a young film director, has brought netizens his latest masterpiece: What Tea Leaf Nation chooses to call “Kim Jung Un Re-Imagined.” 

Director Zhang poured oil on the proverbial flames with his accompanying tweet: “Looking at this late at night, actually got a biological reaction.” {{1}}[[1]]半夜居然看出生理冲动来了[[1]]

Netizens reacted with predictable glee, with @牛小困 tweeting, “Haha, when I look at it I cover up the top bottom left and right all four sides!  Just look at the features, shockingly beautiful!” {{2}}[[2]]哈哈，我看的时候捂住了上下左右四周！只看五官，惊艳呐！[[2]]

@山东大汉之一 wrote, ”[Expletive], almost swallowed my gum laughing!” {{3}}[[3]] 靠，一发笑口香糖被我咽了![[3]]

@信仰一切的人 had high praise for the work and Kim Jung Un’s new-found beauty: “Face as if a silver platter, skin of alabaster [the literal translation is 'frozen lard' which is actually a classic Chinese compliment for beautiful skin], lips more beautiful than cherries, such a rare beauty.” {{4}}[[4]]面似银盘、肤如凝脂、唇赛樱桃，好一个绝代佳人[[4]]

@刘垚昱, however, had a warning for the director: “Be careful of Kim the 3rd sending a special agent to pay you a visit.” {{5}}[[5]]小心金三世派个特工问候你[[5]]

@catpride agreed: “If the North Korean embassy gets a look at this they’re going to lodge an official protest — and the original poster [Director Zhang] will be sent to the coal mines in Kim country.” {{6}}[[6]]让朝鲜使馆看见会抗议滴–楼主会送去金国煤矿滴.[[6]]
