North Korea leader Kim Jong-un has debuted his latest haircut -- and it's a resplendent wedge of ludicrous joy, with a pair of dinky eyebrows to match.

The Dear Leader chose a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea on Wednesday to show off his new cut, a vertiginous tower of hair that fans out dramatically over his round face. Shaved sides and two hyphen-sized mini-brows complete Kim's look.

At the meeting, he was all business, reportedly ordering acolytes to “wage an all-party intensive campaign against abuse of power, bureaucratism, irregularities and corruption,” but his hair had other ideas.

The unique creation sparked immediate speculation over what instructions Kim gave his hairdresser, and who exactly he looks to for inspiration.

Last year it was reported that Kim Jong-un's haircut was imposed on male students, who could now find themselves way behind the times.

The news also means that at least nine celebs will need to rethink their latest haircuts.
