North Korea's daily life, first seen by Australian broadcaster Sam Hamington, is revealed.

Five foreigners, including Sam Hamington, recently traveled to North Korea for five days and six nights. Their appearance is being aired as a documentary film 'Sam Hammington's Face North' produced by SBS in a self-recorded video. On the 6th, the first part was broadcasted, and on the 13th, the remaining two or three parts were broadcasted.

Sam Hamington's Pace North introduces North Korea's daily lives through the eyes of five foreigners who can travel to North Korea. In the first episode of 'Welcome to Pyongyang,' which aired last week, it contained an unfamiliar but familiar North Korea from the plane meal to the salon and the highway rest area, with 2.4% based on 2049 (based on Nielsen Korea) and 6.5% household rating. In particular, the scene of North Korean beauty salons soared to 9.6%.

In Sam Hammington's Pace North, Part 2 and 3 talk with the citizens on the Pyongyang subway, eat street food in Pyongyang, eat 12 meals of kings in Kaesong, go to Pyongyang karaoke by taxi, play Pyongyang citizens and badminton on the Daedong River It is a collection of various Pyongyang citizens' experiences of five foreign friends including Sam Hammington.

When Sam Hammington and his friends got on the subway at Pyongyang Revival Station, an elderly neighbor, Pyongyang, told Sam Hammington, "Are you a hero from the Soviet Union?" The reason wasn't just that Sam Hammington was a white man, but because of the special location on the Pyongyang subway where Sam Hammington did not know.

Most of these episodes, including those episodes, have been included in the documentary, something South Koreans have not experienced in North Korea. SBS strives to have the opportunity to experience the diverse daily lives of the general public in North Korea as much as possible when negotiating courses with travel agencies from the planning stage. Although they are not South Koreans, they intend to enhance South Koreans' understanding of North Korea through indirect experience. Of course, it wasn't accepted as 100 percent, but their videos gave us a glimpse into the daily lives of North Korea.

Sam Hamington and his friends had a nighttime cab ride to karaoke or a night out at a street stall. In fact, South Koreans may think it's nothing, but anyone who has visited North Korea will know how hard this is for South Koreans. It's almost impossible.

Elodie, a Frenchman who experienced a taxi in Pyongyang, said, "When I took a taxi in Seoul, I sometimes got sick, but I couldn't get sick because I drove slowly." "'How is our country? Foreigners may hate us because of political problems, but we live happily ever after,' he said. In addition, I arrived at the destination, "save money," said the article refused to accept charges, it took a while to come back.

One question they had in Pyongyang was, "Why don't you see a bearded man in North Korea?" In the last episode, Sam Hammington and his friends had a pleasant barber experience in Pyongyang. But I have a question. The Pyongyang people could not see the bearded man. The production team also could not find a bearded man on the North Korean footage. Whether this is forbidden by law or the party has given guidelines on appearance, the reason for this will be revealed on the broadcast.

Another amazing thing about this trip is that the citizens of Pyongyang are quite open to foreigners, and the North Korean English craze is also significant. Comprehensive words from foreigners who frequently travel to North Korea showed that four to five years ago, Pyongyang citizens could turn away when they met foreigners on the street. However, Pyongyang's reaction to this trip is that they often speak English to their foreign friends rather than ignore it.

The same was true when Sam Hammington and his friends visited Pyongyang's Ryongbuk Advanced Middle School (corresponding to our high school). When I had the opportunity to talk directly with the students, the question was simply how to learn English quickly.

Part two of the SBS feature documentary "Sam Hammington's Face North", which goes deep into the daily life of North Korea, will be broadcast continuously from 11:10 pm on the 13th.
