Soccer sensation Lionel Messi recently sported a new hairstyle that's turning heads.

On August 5, he was spotted at FC Barcelona's training session with a short new hairstyle that... lo and behold... bears a curious resemblance to Kim Jong Un's signature hairstyle of choice. 

It's a party at the top and a deserted barren land at the bottom... but preferences ought not to be questioned. So we'll refrain from doing so. 

In other news, the Internet has been abuzz with the uncanny resemblance, as people have been taking to SNS to share photos comparing the two. People went so far as to photoshop a photo of Messi onto Kim's face. Whether that's entirely appropriate, I'll leave up to your discretion. 

What do you guys think? Is this the summer "it" look we've all been missing?
