On the advice of Mr. S. Weasel’s comment on my recent North Korean videos post, I watched the video “Welcome to North Korea” and at about time marker 22:16 I noticed something like a gigantic lump on the back of Kim Jong-il’s head. Here’s a screenshot.

[UPDATE: No, it’s not an alien implant, so they say.
I found an article from 1993 in the International Herald Tribune that
says, “Mr. Kim has long had a large, unsightly tumor on the back of his
neck, but it appeared benign and caused no obvious distress.” Shucks.
Although I think I’ve seen more recent pictures of him without
“mini-me” so maybe he’s had an operation since this footage was taken.]
