Hey hey…

The photo’s footnote clearly states: “For Use Only in the Republic of Korea. No Redistribution”

I’m telling.

Zoom in on his face.

I’m no artist, versed in the complex interplay between light and shadow, but I notice everyone has clear overhead lighting upon their faces while he looks like he put on an entire jar of foundation and crawled into a light box.

If I were to guess, I would say the contours of his face with overhead lighting are less than flattering so someone at the Ministry of History and Airbrushing thought they were doing him a favor.

Instead… well… load up the anti-aircraft gun.

Wonder if he’ll be able to makeup for this mistake?
(bah bum bump) 🙂

If he gives any lip, stick him with the blame.

For some odd reason, Fatty III there in the middle reminds me of Howard the Duck
