Though not celebrated as it is in most western countries, Halloween is becoming increasingly popular in South Korea, with wilder ideas every year.
In Hongdae, western Seoul, one costume stood out _ a man dressed as North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
The man wore Kim’s usual black, high-collared suit with his “short back and sides” haircut.

Pictures of the man went viral on social media networks, with young women posing for pictures in front of the “Dear Leader” doppelganger.
The photographs of Kim’s “double” drew cynical online comments such as, "If we reported this to the National Intelligence Service, they would believe us.”
