A mysterious case of a giant attending Kim Jong Il's funeral on Pyongyang has unleashed international media on a witch hunt to determine who it might be.

The anonymous giant paid his respects to the late Kim Jong Il at his funeral last Wednesday and was caught by international media cameras.

He was first spotted by a reddit user, and soon after the search for his identity begun.

According to the comments in the same website it's Ri Myung Hun,  a retired North Korean basketball player, standing at 235cm, who even wanted to play in NBA during the 90s, but was banned by the Americans under the "Trading with the enemy Act" due to his nationality.

In any case, yet another bizarre fact related to Kim Jong Il, the man who cherished a signed Michael Jordan jersey he had and when he was born a double rainbow and a new star appeared in the sky. True story.
