Comedian Yoon Tae-uk posted an AI-generated image that evoked former North Korean National Defense Commission Chairman Kim Jong-il, only to delete it after a controversy erupted.

On the 30th, Yoon Tae-uk uploaded a photo along with the caption, "No, our staff keep teasing me saying I look exactly like him, and now they've even sent me a picture."

The revealed image featured an AI-generated likeness of Yoon Tae-uk and Kim Jong-il Jeon (Chairman) side by side.

While the post was intended to highlight the physical resemblance between the two, some netizens pointed out that the photo was posted amid recent landmine explosion incidents in the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone), which are suspected to be caused by North Korean military mines.

Netizens responded with comments such as, "Should this photo have been posted at a time like this?" and "They do look alike, but why post it now of all times?"

Ultimately, Yoon Tae-uk deleted the post shortly after uploading the photo.

Previously, on the 21st, three South Korean military officers conducting a search operation in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on the Western Front were injured by a landmine explosion.

The military and the United Nations Command conducted a joint field investigation. The UN Command stated, "During the field investigation, one North Korean anti-personnel mine was discovered in the South Korean area south of the Military Demarcation Line," adding, "It has been determined that this constitutes a violation of the Armistice Agreement."

Meanwhile, Yoon Tae-uk debuted as a comedian through SBS's 7th public recruitment in 2003. He has appeared on the MBN variety show "I Am a Natural Person" for an extended period.
