The Rocket Man: Dragon Kim lands in South Korea

Minyong Kim, also known as Dragon Kim has been impersonating Kim Jong Un since 2014 while he was studying in the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign. Born and raised in Seoul , he currently runs an agency for South Korean students who want to study abroad. In April, Kim showed up as a special guest on a talk show in South Korea for North Korean defectors. The show, called "On My Way to Meet You," invites defectors living in South Korea to open up about their lives back in the North and how they are adapting to a new way of life in the South (ABC News). Kim also appeared in a video in October where he passed through the streets of New York in North Korean leader's attire and was viewed by nearly 10 million people online. According to Kim, his main reason for impersonating the North Korean leader is to make people happy. One of the links attached below is a latest video of him dressed as Kim Jong Un, walking through the city of Seoul.
