there's a dude who looks just like kim jong il ... he makes a living out of impersonating the north korean leader.

i heard that he lives and works around namdaemun.

anyone know where he can be found?

I saw the Kim Jong Il lookalike near Dong Seoul bus terminal. Apparently, he owns a stationary store in that area.

Ah, so he's not a traveling salesman? I know if I owned a store I, too, would prefer it to be in the same place everyday.

This is the land of look-a-likes. I have seen kim several times as well as look-a-likes of some of my students. The gene pool just isn't that varied.

His name is 김영식. I don't know where he's located, but maybe if you dig around the comments section of this Yahoo article you might find what you're looking for:
