Men in North Korea have been ordered to keep their hair like their supreme leader Kim Jong-un.
The order requires men to keep their hair no longer than 2cm or less and cut it in Kim's style, News.com.au reports.
In North Korea, the trademark sweptback bouffant with shaved sides is known as the 'ambitious' style and men have been instructed to pay homage to their leader with the hairstyle.
On the other hand, women have been ordered to keep their hair style like Kim's wife Ri Sol-ju in the form of a bob cut and only performers are allowed to grow their hair long.
According to sources, University students are walking around with scissors and chopping off the hair of the offenders.
