He was considered a fashion icon
Kim, who stands at 5-foot-3, strikes an odd-looking pose with his bouffant hairstyle, platform shoes, and an assortment of jumpsuits. The tunic-style clothes, according to the North Korean state-run news website Uriminzokkiri, have ignited the fashion industry and are becoming increasingly popular. Even while receiving foreign guests, the ruler of North Korea dons the overall-style tunic and the khaki or grey coordinating pants. Kim Jong-Il typically dons a formless anorak and a fur hat when he goes on wintertime "field guidance" missions. To appear taller than his 5 feet 3 inches, he is reportedly believed to love a bouffant hairstyle and wear platform shoes.
Nevertheless, the communist party newspaper Rodong Sinmun said that Kim Jong-il's clothes had become a worldwide fashion sensation. Kim Jong Un, his son, and successor, reportedly now enjoys the title of "fashion icon." Numerous young people are reportedly imitating Kim the younger's sleek, cropped haircut on the streets of Pyongyang. Kim the younger may have undergone plastic surgery to make him look more like his father.
