This handout picture taken by North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on December 28, 2011 shows the funeral procession for North Korea's late leader Kim Jong-Il arriving at the square of the Kumsusan Memorial Palace in Pyongyang.
Among the oddities that have emerged from North Korea Thursday is a giant soldier in the crowd watching Kim Jong-il’s funeral procession.
Out of place as he seems, the soldier can be spotted towering over his fellow mourners from a slightly different angle in a Kyodo photo (below).

Earlier Thursday, editors at the New York Times spotted a group of journalists that had been erased from another funeral scene (below). Immediately after, AFP/Getty Images issued the “photo-kill” advisory to the editors, asking for the photo to be removed.
The 9-foot-tall solider was pointed out on online community Reddit, and has since gone viral on other social media networks.
