Most people bring a photo of a celebrity or otherwise beautiful person to the doctor's when they're thinking of going under the knife in order to achieve some ideal beauty standard. One man, however, had different thoughts on the look he wanted.

Chinese national Wang Lei has recently garnered much attention for purportedly going under the knife to resemble the one and only Kim Jong Un. Reporters in Nanjing, China caught a photo of Wang Lei, who now bears a strong resemblance to the North Korean dictator.�In addition to his surgery, it seems that Wang Lei also styled his hair similarly to Kim Jong Un's typical style.�

It's definitely strange (and more than a little alarming) to see someone who wants to physically resemble a man who's known not only for his eccentric style but also for a record that includes a plethora of human rights violations. It's also unfortunate for Wang Lei if he grows to hate the look later down the line, as the results of plastic surgery are more or less permanent and he's kind of stuck with the results for life.�

What do you think of Wang Lei's new look?�
