I think what this means is that Kim gets the joke and is not offended. He may even consider it a kind of honor to be branded with such a well known song by a Westerner. There are far worse songs to be labeled with. Rocket Man is very well written and performed. Not overly gussied up like most of Elton’s big hits.
If Elton really, really hated his song being used in this manner, he would be publicly say so. The fact that there has been no official reaction from Elton may show that he’s okay with it too. More attention = More sales.
Ohhhh, he say I not man I think I am!
