Kim Jong Un-themed beauty masks have been pulled from South Korean store shelves amid controversy over their appropriateness for depicting the North Korean communist leader in too positive a light.
The beauty product’s producer, 5149, told The New York Times that 25,000 of the masks were sold in stores and online since June. Company chief executive Kwak Hyeon-ju said the masks were sold in celebration of the inter-Korean summit that took place earlier in the year.
