Kim Jong-nam, the eldest son of North Korea's Kim Jong-il and half-brother of Kim Jong-un, was assassinated at a Malaysian airport four years ago.

After that incident, two women were arrested on charges of killing Kim Jong-nam after receiving an order from a North Korean agent.

Among them, SBS met Doan Thi Huong, a Vietnamese woman who was released from prison after being incarcerated for the first time in the Korean media.

It turned out that North Korea prepared carefully, giving rehearsals from several months before the incident.

February 13, 2017 at Kuala Lumpur Airport, Malaysia.



It is an unforgettable day for Vietnamese Doan Thi Huong.



Mr. Huong went to the airport to take a sneak shot like before that day.



[Doan Thi Huong: I went to the airport to film an interesting video that day, just like the other shooting days.

You and other female actors can surprise the male actor behind the scenes]



The man who was called Mr. Wye applied something on his hand to Mr. Huong as he did in the previous filming.




[Design Tea Huong: Usually, that person sprinkled orange juice or baby oil on it.

I asked for my hands that day, and I sprinkled the liquid on both of my hands and applied them evenly.

(Did you not ask what material it is?) I didn't ask.

I've given oil before, so I guess it's the same...

Kim Jong-nam died on that day from a poisonous substance that Huong and an Indonesian woman applied to their faces.



[Khalid Abu Bakar/Malaysia Police Commissioner (February 2017): (The substance used) is a chemical weapon as a VX nerve agent.]




Why did Huong accept the strange behavior of touching his face after applying liquid to his hand without doubt?



Huong first met Mr. Wye, a North Korean agent, in December 2016, two months before the assassination of Kim Jong-nam.



Mr. Y, who said he was Korean, introduced that he was filming YouTube.



[Design Tea Huong: This coffee shop is the place where my coworker introduced me to my brother (Mr. Wye).]




Before the assassination, Mr. Y took 7 to 8 secret camera shots with Huong.



[Doan Thi Huong: The first place where I filmed a YouTube video with him was that park. Even then, he surprised the person he pointed to.]



Filming always involves applying liquid to the hand and then touching a person's face.



[Design Thi Huong: I was also curious. Why should I sprinkle orange juice or something on my hands? I was puzzled. (Mr. Wai) said that if you do that, it will be more funny and more responsive.]



At least two months before the assassination of Kim Jong-nam, North Korea has searched for a person to carry out the assassination and even rehearsed it several times.



After two years of imprisonment, Mr. Huong was released and now abandoned his dream of becoming an actor.



Past things that became a nightmare.



[Doan Thi Huong: (At the prison) I prayed almost every day.



Asked

me to return to my hometown] Although

he was only used, he expressed his apology for being involved in unsavory matters.



[Dian Thi Huong: (To the victim's family and everyone) I sincerely apologize.]
