Dictator hires doubles to do the boring jobs

Korean leader Kim Jong-il (or is it?) inspects a farm run by Korean People's Army
The eccentric North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il has hired doubles to carry out his more mundane tasks, according to South Korean intelligence officials.
While Kim himself attends major state occasions, two men stand in for him for more routine visits to tractor factories or farms.
"They are the spitting image of Kim — the same age, same height and with the same bouffant hairstyle and pot belly," a South Korean news agency quoted an intelligence official as saying.
"They are trained to behave like him and even had plastic surgery to enhance the resemblance."
The official also said that assassination was a fear for Kim, an indication of the troubles that lie beneath the surface of North Korea's totalitarian politics.
Kim is also believed to have been ill with diabetes and kidney disease.

I suspect it has more to do with his own fear than anything.

What on Earth could the Dear Leader Who Gives His People Everything They Need And Who Is Beloved By All possibly be afraid of?
Oh yea...he did shoot those 13 holes in one playing golf. So Tiger Woods most likely has a hit squad on his tail.

Kim is also believed to have been ill with diabetes and kidney disease.
And for that reason, Comrade Chia Pet's body doubles have been placed on a special diet of pure sugar, carbs, chocolate to trigger Type II diabetes, and have been required to have one of their kidneys removed and the other kidney given a stern warning not to outperform the kidneys of the Dear Leader.

How do they tell which is the real one?
What if one of the doubles claims to be the real Kim Jung Il? I suppose only the body guards know for sure. Maybe the real one has a tattoo or birthmark.
I wonder if his wife and mistresses can tell the difference?
