A South Korean fashion and cosmetics firm has stirred controversy with a facial mask featuring Kim Jong-un. The firm says it has sold more than 25,000 “unification moisture nuclear masks” since June. However many South Korean stores have halted sales amid a public backlash and concerns over the masks’ legality. The so-called “nuke masks” were created by 5149, a South Korean fashion and cosmetics company. Dozens of Koreans have posted pictures of themselves on social media with the masks, which cost 4,000 won (£2.80). BBC
