Having decided he will go to Pyeongyang, he strikes a bonanza. He picks up an ad balloon that came from Seoul to North Korea last Christmas. The children who saw Jong-soo's present go crazy at the santa outfit and robot, and pack a bunch of their stuff and all gather in Jong-soo's house.

The children who are wearing the santa outfit become a speciality. All the jealous children start begging their mothers for the same kind of robot...
