South Korea US Ambassador's Mustache
Jul 28, 2020
In this Monday, July 27, 2020, photo, U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Harry Harris attends a reception after a ceremony to mark U.N. Forces Participation Day in Seoul, South Korea. Harris has shaved his mildly controversial mustache, saying it was too uncomfortable to keep it while wearing a coronavirus mask amid South Korea's notoriously hot summer. His facial hair had drawn criticism from a small number of online commentators and media, who compared his mustache to those worn by colonial Japanese governors during the country’s brutal rule of the Korean Peninsula from 1910 to 1945.
