Kim Jong-Il (Korean/Chosŏn'gŭl: 김정일, Gim Jeong-il/Russian Name: Yuri Irsenovich Kim, Russian: Юрий Ирсенович Ким, Yuriy Irsenovich Kim) is the main antagonist of the 2004 action-comedy Team America: World Police.
He was the dictator of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, as well as a criminal mastermind, terrorist leader and Team America's archenemy, who aims to turn every country into a third world country and bring chaos upon the world. Due to the many controversies in his real-life rule, Jong-il was the continual target of parody and satire, one of the most famous examples of which is this version. In real life, Jong-il produced and tested nuclear weaponry while North Korea's economy was dissolving and the country's population suffered a famine.
He was voiced by Trey Parker, who also played Balthazar Bratt in Despicable Me 3 and Eric Cartman, Stephen Stotch, Randy Marsh, Scott Tenorman, Nathan, Mimsy, Mr. Garrison, Satan, Barack Obama, Charles Manson, Clyde Donovan, PC Principal, Mickey Mouse, Jared Fogle, and Mr. Hat in South Park.
Biography[]
Backstory[]
A spoof of popular puppet shows such as Captain Scarlet, Thunderbirds, Stingray, and Star Fleet, Team America merged the usual shock-humor and wit of its South Park creators with political satire to create a fictional world based on (and ridiculing) recent world history.
In the alternative world of Team America: World Police, Jong-il is a secret supporter of a vast terrorist network and sought to incite World War III (also known as Armageddon) — he believed that only the strong deserved to live and that he would be doing the world a favor by causing mass death and destruction.
In this universe, Kim Jong-il was originally from a planet called Gyron, his race, The Zypods were at war with another race known as the balmacks which were giant bees. Presumably, because the war was becoming too much for the Zypods to handle, they sent Kim Jong-il to Earth so he could create a new home for them.
In Team America: World Police[]
After Team America destroys both Paris and Cairo in their attempts to stop terrorists, the Film Actor's Guild publicly condemn the team's actions, saying that their actions would just make new enemies. Out of spite, terrorists from Dirkdirkistan blow up Panama Canal, angering Jong-il as it was still too early to blow up entire cities. This does, however, create discord among Team America when Gary, the newest member, quits after seeing what he has done. The rest of the team also let their personal feelings get in the way, leaving them open to an attack from both Dirkdirkistan and North Korea. Team America is then captured and imprisoned within Jong-il's palace.
Jong-il gains the help of the Film Actors Guild in organizing a peace ceremony that will bring the world's leaders in one space, leaving their nations completely exposed. He reveals to Team America that he has spent many years planting bombs in all the major capitals in the world, waiting for this moment when he can finally cause mass panic.
Although he came close to achieving his goals, Jong-il was defeated and killed in a confrontation with Team America — only for it to be revealed (undoubtedly for comedic effect) that he is actually an alien cockroach. Exposed as an alien, Jong-il, who is mad that his plan has failed, proceeds to fly off into space in his small spaceship, swearing to return some day and plan revenge against Team America.
Personality[]
In many ways, Kim Jong-il is similar to Cartman, both being very loud, profane, manipulative, insecure, and having the same voice actor.
He shows absolutely no remorse for humanity, shooting his translator just to scare one of his henchmen. He is narcissistic as well, adorning his palace with pictures and statues of himself, along with having North Korean performers sing about himself. He can be charismatic when he needs to be, gaining the support of the Film Actor's Guild to help him take over the world.
However, it was also revealed (through a now-famous song) that this version of Jong-il was also driven to his intense hatred of humanity because of an immense feeling of loneliness and rejection, which resulted in him developing a multitude of personality disorders.

Trivia[]
- The real-life Kim Jong-il was known to be an avid film viewer — he reportedly asked the Czech Republic to ban Team America: World Police after he had watched it. However, Jong-il never publicly spoke of his feelings about the film.
- The Team America version of Jong-il sounds exactly like Tuong Lu Kim, also known as "The City Wok Guy".
- Another South Park reference would be with his "breaking my balls" comment which is occasionally used by Eric Cartman when negotiating.
- Kim Jong-il is referred to as "Mr. Il" by Hans Blix despite the fact that Jong-il is his first name and Kim is his family name. Possibly a joke about the UN failing to understand the cultures it supervises.
