Kim Jong Un look-alike punches Winnie-the-Pooh in front of North Koreans at Olympics
Some users pointed out that the man was mocking both Kim Jon Un and China's Xi Jinping since he was seen punching Winnie-the-Pooh.
Xi Jinping has been poked fun at for having similarities to Disney's Winnie-the-Pooh bear for years now as memes to this date get posted daily making fun of the resemblance they have with each other.
Someone replied. "I love this man and hope he continues to make fun of people who deserve far, far worse."
The man in question is none other than self-proclaimed Kim Jong Un impersonator Howard X who started dressing up as the North Korean leader in 2013.
He took to his X account and said on Aug. 9 that he was detained by local police:
"Currently being detained by police after this video was made although we have not broken any laws."
He added, "Just got released from being detained where they frisked me, #Trump, and my film crew and checked our passports then kicked us out of Parc des Princes stadium during the gold medal match between France and Spain. Although everyone found us entertaining, this one particular security did not. We were not allowed to watch the rest of the match and 6 security “escorted” us out."
