My family prepares all these side dishes, so you just have to eat them like this.
Yes, that’s right.
The kimchi is here.
The chairman of the Pyeongtaek City Association, who is a member of the Advisory Committee for Democracy and Peace and Unification, gave it to me.
He looks after us like his own children.
I’m so grateful.
Thank you.
I’ll enjoy the kimchi.
How much does Mr.
Kim want to eat it? Isn’t kimchi essential for ramen? Um, I I like it more than noodles with a lot of water.
If you eat this at the end and then eat rice, it's just killing me.
Our kimchi is red and I love it.
North Korea has a lot of white kimchi.
White kimchi.
Yes, that white kimchi doesn't have a lot of garlic, but because of the red pepper powder, so most residents eat it white.
And cabbage, let me tell you something.
In the North, there's this white part, right? Women can't eat this.
They have to give it to their husbands.
And there's the green part at the back.
They have to eat that themselves.
Women like their husbands so much.
But I don't think anyone would go to North Korea just because they ate kimchi and the white part.
Um, um.
Put one egg on top of the ramen, put kimchi on it, wrap it all up, and it's amazing.
The yellow part in your mouth.
I like it both well-cooked and half-cooked.
When the yellow part in your mouth bursts, it's so rich.
When I first came to South Korea, I rode a military man.
When I rode a military man, the first thing I ate was ramen.
Oh, yes, the private in that restaurant made ramen at first.
The egg was really good, really tasty, but when I told him to eat, this guy kept taking everything and eating it in a completely North Korean style.
Now, is there a different eating style in North Korea? Well, not all of them are like that, but there are some people who are a little lost and say, “Drink this.
” Oh, so at first, the Korean soldier made the ramen for us.
Right? Now, there’s Gunami.
We had been on the island for a day, so we were hungry, so he asked us, “Aren’t you hungry?” So he asked us the obvious.
When we said we were hungry, he made us ramen.
So the food we ate back then was amazing.
It was n’t even ramen.
I had ramen in North Korea, but it was on a whole other level of taste.
So I was that hungry, and he made it well for me.
It was really tasty.
At that time, the most delicious and memorable food I’ve had since I came to Korea was that.
The president gave us ramen and kimchi.
Yeah, it’s delicious.
When guests came, he put it on a plate.
They come to me like this, but since I’m not a guest but a person living in the house, I just eat like this.
Also, oh, it’s good to eat light ramen in the morning.
Is it light or heavy? When I keep watching the ramen, it seems like you eat it without cutting the noodles.
Yeah, I eat cold noodles without cutting the noodles.
It’s so annoying.
Oh, is there a reason for that? Then they wouldn’t have made the noodles that long.
There must be a history and meaning to making them.
They tell you to just drink it all down in one go.
You never cut them.
You don’t cut them.
In our country, we eat seaweed soup on our birthdays, but in North Korea, they eat noodles on your birthday to live a long life.
In North Korea, you ca n’t cut the noodles and eat them.
The noodles are my lifeline.
My son is smiling.
He’s my lifeline.
That’s why you can’t cut the noodles and eat them.
Oh, to be honest, well- off families would boil seaweed soup, but most places give you noodles on your birthday.
They give you noodles, whether they’re cold noodles or just noodles.
It’s a must for us on our birthdays.
The seaweed flag.
No, if you cut the noodles, they’ll get shorter.
They say the noodles are shorter, so you don’t cut them.
Yeah, that’s okay.
I guess that’s how it was in the old days.
If you cut the noodles, it was like that, but that's history.
Because Koreans cut everything with chopsticks and scissors and eat it, and they all live long.
It's not like that.
It's a habit that's been passed down from that time, and it's better.
I do n't think that the lifespan is shortened because you cut it.
Because in our country, if you cut everything, you eat it, and if you cut it to that extent, some people should die in their 30s even if you cut it into four pieces, but they don't die.
They live a long time.
That's the reality, and the truth is a little different from the truth.
It's different from what you're saying.
It makes me wonder if they were one people during the Joseon Dynasty.
That must be true.
But I think people in the past had a wish to live that long.
In a word, in the past, people's lives were originally short.
So by the age of 15, they'd already get married and stuff.
So at that time, it seems that they wanted to live longer by continuing their own noodles and relying on something.
Yes, to be honest, that's true.
They say it's a long life, right? Oh, that's too much.
It's delicious.
I like ramen, but I also like salty food.
Ah, salty food.
There's always salty food at home.
Yes, I can't do without it.
I'm anxious.
I'm anxious.
I'm anxious without salty food.
And now, two fried eggs, just put them on and it's amazing.
Oh, I ate well.
I have to clean up again.
If I don't clean up, only the capitalists will eat and not clean up.
And I'm just being generous.
So this has become a habit.
I clean up as soon as I eat.
Oh, I ate well.
At first, the people who said, "The National Intelligence Service is here," said, "Oh, that's right.
You prepared the meals so well.
Oh, that's right.
Honestly, we used to eat like this, like the school lunch.
I don't know because I didn't do that.
Oh, how come I was locked up in the National Intelligence Service as soon as I got here? It's not like I was locked up in the National Intelligence Service as soon as I got here.
Since it was an investigation period, my friend and I shared a room in order to be investigated, and I didn't choose what to eat there.
Oh, it was a little expensive.
So when did I know that? When I went to the office and looked, there was food lined up like this.
You could eat whatever you wanted, as much as you wanted, like this.
You eat it, right? Then you feel regret.
When I first came here, for about two months, I just ate whatever was served.
Yes, so I had no choice whether it tasted good or not.
I had to eat it no matter what.
When I came across the ocean, I did some research separately.
My friend and I did some research separately.
So, these young people would hit me hard when it was mealtime.
They would just serve me rice between 11:30 and 12 noon, and at 5 noon, and at 8 noon, and they would serve me breakfast no matter what.
It was like a complete rule.
And dinner was different for me.
But I usually got one, two, three, four, or five kinds of food.
I got about five kinds, and at around 7 noon, I got a snack.
They served bread, milk, and fruit.
I also really like fruit, so it was good for our house.
I like fruit, so I don't eat it much, so I'm a little lazy.
I bought a house with the money I saved because I didn't eat fruit.
Yes, I really like fruit, so when fruit came out, it was a little weird, but when bread came out, it was different.
When I first ate the food, I didn't feel any aversion to it.
Dalgu, we often say that Korean food is too sweet.
I didn't know if it was because I like sweets, but it was all delicious.
To be honest, after doing it for two months, you would have received the food distribution, and then you would go and eat where they distribute it.
You would go and eat, but it was definitely different.
This one had a variety of side dishes, but you could just focus on the side dishes you liked.
I was surprised.
There was a meat plate, a metal plate, so they had the meat on it like this.
Wow, they did n't just put that on, they had all the side dishes on it.
No, who could do that much? Oh, when I looked, there were quite a few people.
There was another survey period besides Han Na-won, and why were there so many men and women together? I was surprised that there were so many defectors.
What year was it? It was around November 2016.
I didn't know they would only do that.
In North Korea, as far as I know, there were people who had lived in North Korea and came to South Korea, but I thought there were only a few people.
Oh, one group, or something.
What, one regiment, one brigade, and so on, there were hundreds of people.
What the hell, the defectors were so surprised.
Seriously, it wasn't just me.
I had a friend who was like that too.
As soon as we came in, we were surprised to see so many people.
When I asked the National Intelligence Service, our agency, if all the people in the National Intelligence Service were North Koreans, they said there were so many.
I was shocked by how many people there were.
When did all these people come? You said you were in the Ministry of State Security.
You must have more information than the general public.
We ca n't know all the defectors just because we were in the Ministry of State Security.
And the important thing is that people living in the northern region, the Yanggwang-do and Hanbok-do regions in the northern region, know that there are many defectors there.
I live in the Hwanghae-do region, so I know that there are defectors from Hwanghae-do.
I also know to some extent who defected.
But I didn't know that there would be that many.
That's why I said that there weren't many people who went from the wilderness, so I knew how many there were.
At best, I had to meet them.
But when I came here, there weren't just a few people inside, but a few hundred.
I could n't help but be surprised.
What the hell Many people were coming because they hate me, Kim Jong-un.
I filmed this at home, but there were things like that, and I was so swearing because I was pursuing naturalness, and I did this, and I'm trying to capture such a beautiful human life, so I'd like to ask for a lot of support.
Thank you.
What is that here? There's ramen to boil and eat.
Oh, this is well- made.
This is all in demand.
I'm an alcoholic, but I really like looking at alcohol.
Various kinds of alcohol, like real ginseng alcohol.
