It’s even more famous now because it has made its way into K-Pop culture!

It was spotted in K-Pop duo Woo Jin Young and Kim Hyun Soo’s new music video called “Falling In Love”. The song is cute with romantic lyrics like “My heart is fluttering” and “You woke me up from my boring life”. Somehow, they thought that the sketch of Najib was suitable for the vibe of the video.

Here’s the video. We’re sure you’ll be able to spot the art—it appears at the 0:30 and 2:10 minute marks:

This iconic art was created by Fahmi Reza back in 2016. He was fined RM30,000 and sentenced to a month’s jail for “spreading content online deemed obscene, indecent, false, menacing or offensive in character, with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass another person.”

Here’s what the creator himself had to say about his creation’s special appearance.

Artis K-pop ni tahu tak muka badut tu muka @NajibRazak? Simbol protes anti-korupsi dari Malaysia pun boleh sesat masuk music video K-pop. 😂 #KitaSemuaPenghasut pic.twitter.com/x4Bhbs0siX
