Are you thinking of selling a Kim Jong-un themed product? Well, you wouldn't be the first. South Korean company 5149 has been selling Kim Jong-un moisturizing face masks called "unification moisture nuclear masks." Apparently, they've been a big hit, with more than 25,000 being sold.
The New York Times reported today that, after public backlash suggesting that the product was unfairly portraying the North Korean leader in a public light, at least some stores have stopped selling the product.
Some media reports have also suggested that portraying the North Korean leader in a positive light may violate South Korean law, which prohibits speaking favorably about the North Korean government.
